Maybe you should try to make another attempt to give the antidepressants a shot again. I did not want to go on them for ANYTHING!!!! But they have made such a difference in my life. I was in a terrible place in my head- I didn't want to go on this way- It wasn't fair- I lost all ambition to go out and be with my friends. I was mad that I had to plan my meals, and make sure I took my citrucel everyday, and make sure I drank at least 64 ouces of water a day- I was tired of concentrating on my bowels/digestive tract. I wanted to be concentrating on what I was going to do with my husbnad and friends this weekend, and where we wanted to go on vacation this year. I wanted it just to all be over with if I had to live that way- because I wasn't "living" I was existing.
But here I am today- and things aren't perfect, far from it, but they are better- My head/mind is in a better place. I still have cramps/pain, but I do have the ambition to go to the mall shopping, and I do have the motivation to meet my best freind to go walk around the mall together.
I don't go to restaraunts with my friends anymore but I am sure that will come. Before there was no hope- Now there is. And I tried all the relaxation techniques, reducing stress that I never really had except for dealing with IBS. And that didn't do anything for me- The antidepressants are what changed things. I would actually be making the "attack" worse on myself because as soon as I got a little cramp I would send myself into a tailspin of negative thoughts. Now I don't. I mean don't misunderstand I still get bummed out but nothing like how it used to be.
What about some oatmeal, or some saltine crackers.
If all you have been eating is rice for months there is hardly anything inside you- you need more in your tummy.
