I also need to SCRREEEEEEEAMMMMMM AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!%&$#@!!!!!!

Okay much better. I have had 3 days of my own stomach ups and downs with lots of gas and can't quite figure out what I ate that was doing it to me. Tonight I am finally feeling better and proud of myself I did not take any Immodium. I try to only take that if I absolutely have to b/c then I get C for the whole next 2 days.

Sometimes it seems like it's so difficult for people with "normal" stomachs to comprehend what it is we go through on a daily basis. How physically and sometimes mentally tiring it can be to always have your stomach on your mind. And trying to plan your day or your life around what your body can and can't handle. Then trying to make the people who care about you understand that things aren't the way they used to be and I can't go bar-hopping and I can't go out from work and stay out really late. "well you used to be able to do that". It's so depressing sometimes! I'm so glad to have found other people going through the same things and I even realize how grateful I am to be able to have a full life and a great job and the ability to do most of the things I want to in spite of my stomach.

Okay now I am done venting!!!!!! See big happy faces now....
