Bevrs, I'm really glad to hear that the IBS diet is a good one for cholesterol. Maybe that's one hurdle I won't have to worry about. (knock on wood). I already have the high blood pressure, though, so I just need to know as much as I can about taking care of myself better.
You asked what happened to me to make me sick. Well, I'm not really sure, but I think I may have eaten too much fat. I hardly eat any anyway, but I messed up and used way too much canola oil on some chicken. I usually just rub a dab of it on both sides and grill it, but I forgot I had IBS and just did it like I was free. (Yes, I actually forgot what the heck I was doing.) Isn't that crazy?
Well, the next evening, BOOM! I had D(which I'm usually C), and now for the past 2 days I've just had this pain in my lower left abdomen and side. It's better, but it hurts when I take a deep breath or lay on my side in a certain way. I also get bloated. I look like a 50 year old pregnant gal. I have to laugh about it sometimes, because it's so darned hilarious. I mean, looking pg at my age. HA!
Anyway, I'm going to the doc, if I don't get well here pretty quick. I've had infections before and I can't tell the difference between an ibs attack and an intestinal infection, so I don't like to mess around with it too long if I'm not sure.
I skated along for two months though, feeling more normal than I had in years; and it's so nice to have hope with a real blueprint to make it all happen!! It's nice talking with you, Bevrs! You're always a breath of fresh air!! What a precious person you are! Terri
