Hi Wendy-hope your day is going well and you are feeling a bit better. It's a day like most others for me, gas and feeling like I need to go to the bathroom a lot. But it's something I guess I'm going to have to learn to live with. I'm thinking of ordering Heather's peppermint oil capsules. I drink quite a bit of peppermint tea and it helps sometimes. Also thought about trying Gas-Stop, but haven't ordered it yet. I'm a lot less C than I used to be thanks to Heather's Acacia and her diet. But going out to eat is a real bummer, isn't it?
Let me know what you find out from your GYN and about your eyes. I just don't know how much more the two of us can take, ya know? Oh, I forgot to tell you, this all started about 3 yrs. ago when I started getting really constipated and I went to a family doc and they found out I had hypothyroidism and put me on synthroid. Well, the C never got better, in fact, it got worse, and I've been battling it ever since and still eating anything I wanted till, like you, I finally got really sick and couldn't eat anything and had to go the the ER and they found my colon was irritated and my family doc sent me to the gastro specialist who diagnosed me with IBS! The GI Dr. is also the one who told me I would be fine and could eat anything I wanted and sent me home after the colonoscopy with no diet, no meds, no nothing! I spent the whole afternoon on the computer and that's how I found Heather's website. She pretty much saved my life!!! She has quite a following of people who feel this way about her. That GI Dr. was such a quack I never went back to him for follow-up and I told my family doc about him. I was so upset I could have spit venom!!
Kiddo, you & I are so much alike it is scary. We should write a book! lol
Take care and don't give up!
