&lt;p&gt;As a guy in my mid-40s, my health is something that has become increasingly &amp;ldquo;in my face&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;ve never been someone who worked out.
After &lt;a href=&#34;https://djw.fyi/health/crohns/&#34;&gt;developing Crohn&amp;rsquo;s disease&lt;/a&gt; in 2016, I did an elimination diet and lost 50 pounds.
That led me to my lowest adult weight of 165lbs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But in the years since, I&amp;rsquo;ve settled into a desk job as a technical writer and did nothing to maintain anything active.
And my diet returned to something that approximated a standard American diet, though with some adjustments for allergies and other problematic foods.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;/figure&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In early 2016, I followed other members of my family in dealing with a quite awful stomach flu. It wasn&amp;rsquo;t a fun thing, but it passed on as those things do.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Until it didn&amp;rsquo;t.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&#34;onset&#34;&gt;Onset&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;See, while the symptoms at first subsided, things got weird not too long after I thought I&amp;rsquo;d recovered. What do I mean by &amp;ldquo;weird&amp;rdquo;? Well, for starters, I worried that I was having appendicitis.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
