have been getting bloated every night so big that I feel like my stomach will explode and I can't eat, have the WORST gas I have ever had (very smelly, it's awful! ), I am really nauseous a lot of the time, lotsa reflux... I don't even know how to deal with it at this point. I have taken one sick day when the pain was so bad, but I have been getting through but it's really hard!
Here is the other thing I wanted to get feedback on... I have been having this feeling like I always have to go to the bathroom, which isn't new.. but I USED to feel that in my lower stomach... NOW I feel like it is... lower? Like I always feel like there is something RIGHT THERE, waiting to come out.. like heavy.. or pressure.. or something but a lot of the time, nothing will.. or just gas...
Does anyone else get this?

I used to get that early on when I would still eat meat and dairy. I would think since it wasn't immediately bothering me that it couldn't be it; but I wasn't thinking about how long meat takes to digest, how continously cheating and eating foods that are more difficult digest would ultimately cause havoc in my intestines. Meat and dairy gave me the smelliest gas and most explosive D. Or it owuld also leave me feeling very big adn when I went to the bathroom I started out normal and ended up with D. Ugh. Anywho, I don't know what you're eating, but you know this diet well and I'm sure you're making the right choices and adjustments. I'm just sorry you're having to deal with all this stress right now!

My only suggestion is to eat extra safely, no cheating at all, keep on using an SFS, and take Imodium as needed. But I'm sure you know all that as well!

I'm sending you positive thoughts for a happy GI tract and a calmer life. I'm sorry you're going to have to move out sooner than expected, but once you're on your own, independent of your parents, you'll feel so much more relaxed! And free! Take care, Stephie!
