Yes, as I become more adjusted I may be less uncomfortable to talk about it. I'm still processing it all. I'm so glad I found out I have this because I think I've had it for a long time. I was actually trying to avoid foods that I just felt "did not work for me". I didnt understand why sometimes dairy bothered me and sometimes not. I didnt understand why my diet of raw fruits and vegetables, with a sensible amount of protein that included steak, would sometimes make me bloat and sometimes not. So I started drinking pineapple juice for my "digestion issues". It wasnt until the past month, after Christmas feasting, I decided to go on a diet that eliminated carbohydrates such as potatoes, pasta, bread and rice. (WRONG MOVE!)I'd wake up and start eating fruits and drinking water with lemon in it. I took fruits and raw veggies to work to snack on. The more bloated I'd become, the more intense the pain. So I'd try to relieve it with green tea or lemon water which seemed to make it worse but I could not figure out why.
Anyway, the last few days I've been really watching what I eat, and reading the posts and making the recipes, and its as if I've been literally starving for years. What an overall sense of well being and balance I feel. I'm not lethargic and sluggish as I'd been feeling. (I'd chalk all that up to chronic fatigue syndrome). So I am very grateful for this diagnosis.
By the way, if you dont mind me asking, what general area in florida are you from?
