Julie, I feel for you, I really do, but back to the milks, again? We have had this conversation soooo many times, and we get nowhere.
Haven't we advised you to skip all milks for a time, and see how it goes? Haven't we stated speak with your medical team and diet advisors about the different milks? Haven't we said maybe, with you, it isn't about the milk, but more about the head?
Have you ever tried something besides cereal for breakfast...something that does NOT involve milk? Obviously, milks are not working for you. Can you try a plain bagel with jam or butter substitute? Can you do egg white omelets? Can you do oatmeal with just a bit of sugar? There are things you can have for breakfast besides cereal and then you won't have to be so obsessed with this milk thing.
If you continue to do what you've always done, you will continue to get what you've always got.
I don't think living in the USA is going to help you a bit. From what I hear, you live in the UK and have access to one of the best docs in the world for IBS treatment.
Julie, I am truly sorry for your situation with your mom. I know how tough it is to be a caregiver. I have been one to my mom recently, and I know the stress it can cause.
My C is so severe right now that I don't know which way to turn. But, I don't ask the same darn questions, over and over again, when we have tried our best to understand your pain and answer them.
Julie, the people on this board have given you great suggestions. And I am not saying that you cannot come here for support, but you have to listen and put some of these suggestions into play. You can't continue to ask the milk question over and over and over again, when none of us can answer that for you.
Do you see what I am saying? I know some will be angry with me and say I am being too hard on you, but it just gets old after awhile. You have to be willing to help yourself. We can't do it for you.
I think this may be a bit of tough love.
