Hello Steffie, Happy Thursday!
My problems also started as "lactose intolerance" and stayed that way for a couple of years and then all went downhill in a month's time. My month of eating nothing but chicken, flour tortillas, rice, baked potatoes and eggs was one I'll never forget but would like too! That month sent me spiraling into anxiety and depression and that's what brought me to the local meditation center so that I could "be" with all the scary thoughts, loneliness, sadness. And as I began to learn how to eat for me, and got the support of how to work with my emotions and thoughts I became much stronger. In fact, that scary experience coupled with dealing with my IBS condition brought me to the work I do now...helping others move forward in their life when they feel like they haven't a choice. In that sense my IBS was a gift to me...but hey, I'm human. It's a challenging condition to be with.
By the way, during the first few bad months ketchup didn't work for me either. Then only organic ketchup did, and now I'm back to eating the regular stuff. Oh geez, gotta hit it the road (just noticed what time it was).
One thing's for sure this experience will move you into a entirely new dimension of having a stronger relationship with your "self". Keep breathing my friend, and do your best to hold onto those positive thoughts!
With love, Alicia
