i have had an endoscopy about 6 months ago. i suffer badly with stress and anxiety which i believe has caused this current flare up.
i dont drink alcohol, smoke and only have 1 coffee a day. i have crackers with peanut butter for lunch everyday and have meals such as pasta pesto and McCartney sausage for tea. i eat this at 5 o clock.
i am a 5ft ll male and weight 12.5 stone. i am also vegetarian.
If anybody has meal plans i can follow, i will follow them.
