Hi Everyone, Hubby Joe got up to Boston and Rita was doing better, she had gotten past her last bout with *D* and had a good night and a good sleep. He is trying to do a good job of feeding her foods that are on the "How to break the cycle" list. She does want some milk, he got soy milk, I wondered if rice milk is better or if the soy is okay. He also bought an organic electrolyte drink that contains frucose, is that okay? I am suggesting to him that he doesn't start too many new foods or drinks until she is doing well without problems on a very basic diet. He cooked white rice and sweet potatoes for her for dinner and I think she is eating some sourdough bread. How's this look so far?
She is also drinking peppermint tea. She doesn't have Acid Reflux so I told him the peppermint would be okay. The Fennel and the Acadia fiber supplement should be there soon and should she add the Fennel tea, or not if she is doing well with the peppermint?
What are the important questions we should be asking her about her bowl movements and stomach cramps and stuff? I don't know if she goes between *C* and *D*, I guess that is a good question to ask. I also think maybe we should find out all the meds she is on so we can see if any of them might be causing the problem.
I thank you all for your help, your prayers and your kindness. At this time Hubby Joe is trying to get an appointment with a good Gastro Guy, but as long as Rita is doing well, we think her being home and calm is a good thing. I just wish she would stop cleaning house and just rest and take care of herself!!! When I called today she was vacuming the porch! Geeezzzzz enough cleaning already! I think she should just rest and relax and try to focus on her diet. I know a little walking around is good...but housekeeping...you would think she would be happy not to have to do that...they have a cleaning lady that comes in once a week...I told her...put it on the list for HER!
Thanks again!
