hi guys! been a long time since ive posted. a little combo of work and the oh-so-hectic shopping ive been doing for christmas! and not to mention all the extra time lost being caught in holiday traffic . anyways i just wanted to update and say hi to everyone <HI!!>---hehe! well ive been having a little bit of C! more then normal, maybe 1 BM per day but *only* in the AM usually. any other time has been considered lucky. im a little surprised im not in more control with my IBS since i quit my 2nd job. now i only have 1.

as an experiment i stopped my psyllium to see if it helped my asthma. it helped i guess but ive also got this new inhaler diskis <advair>. i hate it tho b/c you have to inhale powder now im kinda taking this organic fiber blend i found w/not too much success. you mix it into juice/water and drink fast but it tastes like liquid oatmeal and makes me feel nauseaus each time i drink. so ive been avoiding. and also not doing too well w/my acacia and consistant times of taking it. ive been running here and there between my mom's house and my BF's and its just hard to find time to make! when i can, i will but if im short for time, ill wait til i find some, which usually isnt for awhile hoping to find some temp.relief from this C w/out caving and going back to psyllium [even though it really helped!] or worse, laxatives. i was just thinking that maybe i could take 2 nice gentle ones to clean out since ive been feeling pretty clogged and its pretty uncomfy .

aside from IBS though im doing alright. i had a kick-@$$ christmas and saw lots of family. i celebrated with both parents seperately so both felt they spent "christmas time" with me. and that was nice. i had dinner w/my moms friends which i was a little nervous about b/c last year they all hushed about how they thought i was having anorexia b/c i was so thin from europe. but it all turned out fine and all they said was how fabulous, healthy and happy i looked [they even said i was glowing!] i also saw my girlie-doc for an emer.appt. on the 23rd and she also commented on how good i looked. the last time she saw me was in jan.05 and then i weighed 93 pounds. now i weigh 103 and thinking about it, it feels okay. i thought that i gained alot more but its just my way of thinking from the bloating from my IBS! so really those compliments made me feel great! also ive been hanging out alot w/my old bestfriend from highschool and its just been so nice to have a friend to be around. today i spent xmas w/my bf and his family and they are just wonderful wonderful people. it made me realize just how special family is and how special the people around you really are. its always good to see them.

well i hope everyone is doing well and wishing you all a nice happy and *healthy* new year take care guys!
