Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I just want to say I love you Kandee!

The anemia...can't be from my period. I haven't gotten it in months. I'm eating chicken liver and eggs (no IBS-safe diet for me right now...) so hopefully that'll help get some iron in me. I also cook with cast iron skillets when I can.

Whew! What a relief. Maybe it IS just my IBS pains he found. However, Hepatitis is rampant where I live

but I don't think the viral cancer is the Big C right?

My appointment to tutor was thankfully cancelled and my hubby and I ordered a pizza and fries (I wanted to feel normal....). We're also going to the mall tom. for a date! I don't have much energy...but we're gonna go to my fav. store...the Asian store...and look around. That always makes me feel good. Oh, and the health food store too!

I will go back to my regular diet tom. I know it's healthiest for me. What is healthy for me right now is a big ? but I am trying to do what's best. The chicken liver is ok as long as I have it with TONS of soluble fiber...I eat it after like 3 or 4 rice cakes...and I eat it on rice cakes. Same with the eggs.

I'm going home, G-d willing, next week sometime. I will see my endocronologist, my ENT, and my dentist....the ones I grew up with who have known me for YEARS! I'm looking forward to that! Hopefully that can give me some insights and run whatever tests they feel neccessary.

I feel much btter now that I had my pizza and fries. It just made me feel healthy that I could eat those things (sounds weird, right?) I'm just so tired of being sick and having to say "no, I don't have the strenghth to babysit your kids today...I'm an old 25, sorry!" It gets me down, y'know! In college I was the queen of clubs...I was in like 13 of em'! I don't want to be in 13 clubs anymore

but I do want to be able to go to work and to the mall and to hang out with friends...normal things 25 year-olds do.

The good news is...I have a lot of great things in my life. I can still make people smile, I have a WONDERFUL hubby who adores me, a close family, lots of friends, and wonderful people in my life! I have so much to be thankful for! And the best part is...being sick is G-d willing temporary!

I also have a lot to be proud of. Not eating sugar for almost 1.5 months is HARD STUFF! Staying away from dairy and tomatoes, my fav, is tough too! (Staying away from dairy is tolerable as long as I can have tomatoes and vise versa...but BOTH is just too painful!)

I dunno...just trying to list the positives here. How'm I doing?

I'm SO THANKFUL I have this board and everyone here! You're like family!

And, Kandee......what can I say? You're ma mama Kandee!

Thank you for EVERYTHING...

Love,
Ruchily
