Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Thanks. I hope you're feeling better.

I had a bit of a panick attack about Pesach before but Amie clamed me down. I can eat Matzah so I think I'll be OK. I can't eat rice anyway because it makes me C.

BTW - I saw that you put your Hebrew name on that post. Should I add you to my tehilim list? I feel so bad that you're having such a hard time. Are you OK? I am worried about you? How are you feeling?

If you can't have Matzah what will you eat? Have you spoken to your Rav about it? I don't know too much about GF diets can you eat chicken? Cooked Veggies? Are potatoes OK?
What do you usually eat?
I hope you feel better soon.

B'H I'm not so bad off. My IBS is pretty much under control and I try to stick to Heather's diet as much as I can. I bring my own little goodie bag to Shul on Shabbat so I can have something to eat at kiddush and all my friends know about my IBS and they are VERY helpful.

B'H I have a great support group between my friends and family. I have three adorable children. Kenaineharah. My oldest is about to celebrate her Bas Mitzvah. I have a 7 year old son and a 5 year old daughter. They also are constantly monitering what goes into my mouth.

Purim wasn't THAT bad. I know I sounded like I was kvetching (and I was)but for the most part it was fun. The food related parts were VERY hard but Megillah reading was amazing, We had a Bar Mitzvah boy in the Shul and he read the entire Megillah. My DH has a great sense of humor. He made sure our Seudah was alot of fun. Our Rabbi tried to control the Haman noise with this sign that said "noise". The plan was that when he held it up we could boo, pound shake or whatever with all our might but when he put the sign face down we had to stop... well after Megillah reading my DH stole the sign and bought it to our house... when the Rabbi came to the Seudah he held it up and all the guests... well... I guess it doesn't sound as funny written down but trust me it was hysterical.

I'm OK fasting as long as I prepare myself well the day before with carbo loading and (OK I know this sounds bad) drinking power aid. So I didn't get sick on Taanis Esther, just VERY hungry, tired a cranky ... but that isn't IBS that's just the way everyone is after a fast. (Yom Kippor and Tisha Ba'av are hard because I can't wake up early and eat before the fast begins.)

Here's a good night hug. Refuah Shelaima.

Love,
Chany
