Thanks for your reply. You are so right with everything you said. Right on target, dear. You'd make a good psychologist! Thanks, girl...>that's my future plan! I am a teacher, special ed, and it's basicallyt an educational psychology degree. Besides, as I've said, I'm a hardcore feeler. I feel everyone's pain along with them.
one day, someone may post the magic cure for me and all others with GI distress and I don't want to miss it! Wouldn't that be wonderful?

I've never tried meditation...doesn't seem to be time for it as I am a Type A here and would probably be making lists of things I needed to be doing instead the whole time. LOL! I'm a lister too. I organize things that do NOT need to be organized, yet...I call myself a B because it never actually BOTHERS me, i'm just a little psycho!LOL! That's why I think meditation would be great, and it's the perfect thing for YOU, Beth!

Just being here for me and telling me you can eat these foods helps some, Shannon. I really hope it does. as well. Should I be worried about oatmeal now? Probably not-my body's just a bit weird. I can't handle ANYTHING in the morning, but smoothies and toast. Even margarine, a tiny bit, hurts in the AM.

How do you guys pinpoint your tummy acher foods when we hurt most of the time? Or don't you guys hurt most of the time. What effects do a problem food cause that is different from the normal yucky feelings? I'm now noticing that I'm basically pain free but it's still there-just barely. But when i have a trigger food, I will know within 20 mins of eating it. Generally no sooner.

I wish there was an accurate test to take that would tell me what I am intolerant too...Not an allergy test, but a reliable intolerance test to give me some answers since I have yet to be able to identify one trigger on my own! And I'm not stupid...just always feel yucky and so unable to notice any difference no matter what I eat. I really hope you can find some peace of gut soon. You've gone through a lot and it's easy to let your mind make it worse. I KNOW mine can. Worrying is the NOT answer for you, OK? If you need a break, we'll understand.

BTW, are you able to eat white rice without it constipating you? I don't seem to be able to and brown rice seems a little harsh.

Um, almost everything constipates me! Dairy doesn't but hey, that's hell to pay. I wouldn't go there if I was you!!


HUGS, Augie!!
