Thanks so much for the reply! My birthday was great - flowers from nieces & nephews, along with a lot of cards!
About the meds - Is Pentasa the same as Asacol? Also, I asked my doctor (primary care - not GI) about Librax, because I had been given that about 25 years ago, when they called it "spastic colon". She wouldn't prescribe it. I think I'll look into it and ask the GI doctor when I see her in a couple of months. Regarding jobs and stress: the first week of training at FedEx is almost over, and each day has been a little worse - more bloating, and today, near the end of class, I felt warm and faint - and tonight I had to take Imodium after dinner because I recognized the gurgling, mild cramping & soft BM as a warning sign that tomorrow might not be so great! And, I absolutely have to show up every day during training - which will be another 3 weeks, then on-the-floor coaching for 60 days! It's definitely not a low-stress job, but the pay is better than average and so are the benefits. Right now, that's a huge consideration for me! The job market is so tight here. Getting physical activity is a definite challenge now, too - seem to need more rest! However, FedEx has a tiny fitness room with a treadmill and recumbent bike which I can use. Maybe I could use it a few minutes before work - that might help in the morning.
Anyway, thanks again for sharing your info and for the birthday hello!
