Hi! I have lengthy bouts with spasms (2-4 months) every year--sometimes more often. Eventually they just go away, but I seem to be having them more frequently as I get older--which is why I am trying this diet.
When I'm in one of these phases, I find that I feel pretty good in the a.m. until I have a BM, then the spasms start. On bad days they continue the rest of the day. On better days they may just last a few hours. Doesn't matter if I'm C or D or in between. I haven't seen this described in any of the medical stuff I've read. Does anyone else experience this? It is more likely that this is when spasms will start than after eating, so it's hard to figure out the food trigger. A lot of the posts I've read seem to indicate spasms that start soon after eating. I guess I'm eating a trigger the day before, but since it happens everyday, and I'm being pretty darn careful about diet, I don't get why things don't settle down.
Peppermint tea is helping somewhat. The diet doesn't seem to be working for me yet, so I feel like there'something I'm not doing right. Or does it just take time? Maybe I'm just being impatient--but I sure would like to feel better. I'm going to go back to school full-time in a couple of weeks, while continuing to work as well, and I'm anxious about feeling well enough to manage all this.
Any help is appreciated. BTW, you have all helped me a lot already because I don't feel like I'm the only one dealing with this. Thanks!
