Actually, I'm just used to it. I love school so much that I try to get involved in the conversation and ignore it. I'm a pretty big geek so I usually can. The worst is when I have class across lunch time (I did last semester and this semester too). I really need to sit down and eat a good lunch or I get super super bloated! That's the part where my zippers start undoing themselves. Which is embarrassing in classes. Especially the ones I'm teaching!
My doctor told me that the diarrhea comes from the constipation, my body flushes a lot of water down to try and clear it out and then it causes the reverse problem. I also have trigger foods for that, so I avoid them.
I've been waiting to take fiber again until after the GERD testing is done. I'm a little nervous about it.
