Well, I saw my OBGYN Wednesday and I asked him to send me to a new gastrointerologist and I also asked him if he'd order a gallbladder ultrasound, due to some right sided pain. He did this all with no problem, he's a great guy:) Anyway, I went for my gallbladder ultrasound Thursday morning and it seems that I have gallstones. This would explain SOoooo much really. I can eat NO fat, so this would be a good reason why right?!
At any rate, it's basically a shame that we can go around so sick for so many years and it takes an act of congress to get someone to take a look at something other than just the bowel. I mean, I would have thought they'd have checked my gallbladder out a long time ago, with my symptoms and all. I should have suggested it before now, but I had just kinda given up on doctors.
I was also wondering, does anyone here drink rice milk? Does it bloat you up? Does it have any side effects? I have some but am afraid it will bloat me up since it's made from brown rice. I can't eat brown rice. Well hopefully it won't bloat me up and I can drink some.
Also, does anyone have any suggestions for constipation that doesn't involve oat or wheat products or citrucel or metamucil? I know, I'm diffictult to work with, but all these hurt my tummy. I've not "been" in 13 days today. Well I used a little warm water enema yesterday, but only had minor results, not enough to really count. Well thanks to anyone that can help me out here:)......
