Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

OK, having had this "crap" LOL for years, you'd think I'd know something. Then, along comes a new symptom... I had dental surgery from H!!!, with some sutures, some open places in my gums so, for the past week my diet has mainly been liquid - can't run the risk of anything disturbing the sockets since I had a problem with bleeding. So, I've done OK?? with Slim Fast (Lactose & Gluten Free), drinkable yogurt, yogurt whips and I've even learned if you soak a piece of bagel in applesauce long enough it will get soft enough to dissolve in your mouth! LOL... So, today, feeling a little weak, I thought I needed some protein...I mixed mashed potatoes with a little FF, low sodium chicken broth and some Lactaid cottage cheese in a blender and made potato soup - delish! Within 5 mins. of hitting my "gut" the bloating, pressure in my chest/colon/between "the girls" began, along with ears ringing, heart pounding and resulting in a run to the BR... This lasted about an hour...Little better now, but still pressure under "the girls" (or as my dr. says - the transverse colon area)....
What was it???? The Lactaid cottage cheese???? I'm so tired of worrying about every bite I put in my mouth... Even watered down light fruit juice causes thrush - too much sugar.. Sorry, I'm so long winded, but I can't tell a story in 500 words of less!
