just wanted to share my doctor-experience today. it went well--i got a # for a GI doc in my mom's area [i went there for IBS testing 3 years ago] but this doctor is new. im just gonna meet with him to discuss a re-evaluation of my IBS and to check up on its current status. im also having bloodwork done on tuesday to check if i have any difficiencies[sp?? horrible i know!] and i got some new inhalers for my asthma. but i was bummed about something: [dont laugh cause its embarrassing] but.. i had to have myself weighed and the last time i was weighed it was on a bad day which was the same case for today. except last bad-day-weighing i was 4 pounds lighter when i stepped on the scale and the nurse said the # aloud i kept thinking they were thinking "gawd is she fat!" but i was only bloated! i actually weight 2 pounds lighter then my reading today but it still sucks. its just not fair and its never gonna be i also just ordered all this cool stuff from Alloy online [ie-these really hot jeans that are *the perfect pair* ive been searching for and the size i ordered was skin-tight! i thought i was being smart and ordering a bigger size but now i have to send them back for an even bigger size. *harrumph* i just got my new acacia and my new fennel tea but dont know if i like it. Q: for the fennel tea, what should i expect when i drink it? alot of gas ready to pass or cramps from gas loosening in my tummy. im trying to decide if its a tea i want to take with me when i go out or if it will just cause worse gas problems ie: gas in places i cant/am too afraid to pass in/around. another question i have: when trying to drink all of the recommended water for the day to activate SFS, how do you manage to shop without needing to find a potty to pee in?? i shopped today with my bestfriend and just about died 3 times of needing to go to the bathroom due to too much liquid consumption [soy hot cocoa and water] just curious if that happens to anyone else. thanks guys for reading! sometimes its just "one of those days"
