My tum is just feeling horrible lately... I have been eating lotsa things I probably shouldn't, but I just get all cocky and think I can eat anything... but surprisingly I think what's giving me the most problems is raisins!! Any of you have a prob with that?
My eating is kinda sporatic and weird lately.. I don't eat full meals and I kind of snack all day, which i think is confusing for my system. And nighttimes are really weird, whereas mornings used to be the worst for me.... I get all bloated and gassy at night, and hungry at the same time... but it feels like my body is trying to digest so I don't want to put too much more food in it... confusing!
It's like, sometimes I'm fine for awhile, then something small will happen and it will throw me off for a week! I try hard not to freak out about it like I used to, and jump to the conclusion that something is REALLY wrong with me... because my weight is fine, I don't have D anymore, I'm never excessively C either.... just varying some days going a lot, some days going a little....
But i get really annoyed with the pain and bloating and stinky gas! that's the tough part, because those things are unpleasant for long periods of time...
and I also get in this mentalitiy like I'm STUCK in this.... like this is my destiny, my life.... I know IBS may never "Go Away," and that it can be controlled and all that stuff... but I just want it to go away sometimes! i look at it from the chinese medicine perspective and I have what they call "dampness" in my digestive track... and sometimes it feels that way, it's really very descriptive.... does anyone else feel kinda damp inside? it's hard to explain but yet it makes so much sense.
bodies are so weird! sometimes i wish i could trade mine (although i have a pretty cute body- i love hot it looks just not how it feels!).... but i also realize that there's ALWAYS something.... everyone has their weaknesses, their places they hold stress... if it doesn't show up now, it will when they are older... i just wish i didnt have this now at age 26... then again i think it has made me a stronger person...
i dunno now i'm just rambling... i'm grateful to have this space to vent and know that i have suppotive people reading this! if this strikes anything for you, please reply!
much love!
