That's ok. Go ahead and vent. We've all been there! I know it is hard when your family and friends don't understand, and sometimes it's easy to want to hibernate and crawl in a hole, especially when your tummy is hurting so much.
But maybe if you told us which SF and how much you are taking, and what you are eating, etc, someone could figure out what it is that's causing you such pain. Sometimes it's the little things we do that cause problems and we don't realize it because we are too close to it.
Take for instance, the stupid thing I did this past week. I had family in town and bought some Special K cereal because that's what they like. I usually eat Rice Chex or oatmeal, but I ate the Special K every morning while they were here and have been doing so every since. And I have had horrible problems with C, bloating, gas, and tummy pain.
This morning, when I got up, opened the pantry and saw the box of Special K, it was like a lightbulb went off in my head! I realized my problems started and have continued since I have eaten this for breakfast. So I ate some oatmeal this morning instead, and soon afterward had a BM---and I have no pain or bloating anymore!!!!!!
I feel very stupid for not thinking of this sooner than I did.
For those who are curious, I looked at the boxof Special K and the ingredients are: "rice, wheat gluten, sugar, defatted wheat germ, salt, high fructose corn syrup, dried whey, malt flavoring and calcium caseinate."
I suspect it was the wheat gluten or the high fructose corn syrup that was bothering me. I am throwing the box in the trash right now!
