hello lovely people
well the latest thing that seems to characterise my attacks over the last few months is this:
my poos are now a good consistency, however, as soon as I poo my body feels so unpleasantly empty, it induces horrible nausea, and what feels like my bum doing dry retches...ie I call them empty urges because it feels like I desperately need to go and nothing comes out. The nausea is so yucky and is often followed by INSANE shakey hunger...like hypoglycaemic feeling. Of course I always put something soluble in as soon as the feeling hits. What the hell is going on???
The only thing I can think is that my gut must be spasm and that is induced by the action of pooing (there we spend years of our lives praying for normal logs and when they come the body introduces something else to irritate us!!)...so I was thinking maybe peppermint caps would help....I haven't tried them for ten years and when I did I didn't take them obediently, plus was living on a typical 15 year old diet of junk...am a good eater now (not that I can eat much variety at the mo). Please give me your thoughts and if anyone else experiences this..is getting me down....
So, how do I take peppermint caps...is it a gradual process?? or do I just pop some in? I don't get reflux or anything...with food? without food? before? after? how many?
Thank you!!!
