12. No special diet but I do try to avoid eating a lot of red meats, they are harder to digest.

I have malabsorption issues hence a LOT of loose movements (TMI sorry) I try to get a good balance of fiber though to bulk up. The problem is too loose or too bulky causes irritation.

I don't absorb 90% of the fats I eat so I try really hard to limit that as well.

Water, lots of water helps.

Some days are better than others re pain.
