Lately I've been under a ton of stress. As some of you know I lost one of my very best friends on wednesday. I'm also trying to finish up a semester of college. OK, not to mention I have two teenage girls...one going off to college in the fall. Plus, we are a military family and we are supposed to be moving this summer to Maryland, but we don't have our orders yet. We can't even schedule movers until then. Did I mention I'm stressed?
Anyway, my diet has been terrible since last week. Not only am I not following Heather's plan for IBS...it is almost like I'm purposely doing everything opposite. Drinking red Bull and eating fatty hamburgers is not helping the D. Luckily Imodium and Gas X help me a lot. I still have D, but it is only in the morning.
My question is this...is it normal to crave sugar and red meat when under this much stress? I think it might even be making the stress worse. I just have this *who cares* attitude about what I eat(until the cramping starts...then I really care)but my attitude has spilled over into who cares about the laundry, dishes, my hair, etc. Part of me feels like it is going to be a long road back to where I was before I lost my kitty and I just need to keep trying. What to do?
