Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | I've started eating, and I can't stop

As many of you know I'm in OA. I eat to hide behind the food.

I am on horrible medications right now that make me crave like crazy. Plus I got a kidney infection so I needed cranberry juice to heal. The health food stores don't carry Kosher cranberyy juice, so I had to buy the ones from the regular store--which are loaded with sugar. Sugar is sometihng I cannot have EVER! It is an addictive food for me...as well as a GI trigger and I have blood sugar problems.

I can't stop eating!

I think I am depressed from the prednisone (ok, I know I am) and so I'm eating to make myself sleep. Prednisone changes the chemical balanace in your brain. This is NOT my fault. My doc tol me so. He also said he could gove me anti-depressant but that by the time it begins to work, I will be off the prednisone already.

I wish I only knew what to do for myself. The good news is, I toomy last dose of prednisone this morning. BUT I'm still on other meds thata re having depressive side effects as well.

I need to stop the sugar.....but I'm not having success.

I was off sugar for 4 months before all if this started and Iw as doing great. On sugar...I'm no good. I can't accomplish anything and I feel rotten and sleep a lot.

I'm not sure if you have advice to ofer......but lots of hugs will help, that's for sure!

I need a group hug!

I'm so sad and distraught right now. I just wish there was somwthing I could do....and I wish I had the will power to stay away from sugar....HELP!

Love,
Ruchie
