Hi Bev, Sorry this reply has been so delayed.I wrote one yesterday and then my son came in and when I got back to my laptop my comp. had frozn up and I lost it.
Anyway,I'lll tyr again.Foirst I want to say thank you ever so much for your caring thoughtful response. It feels so good to have support and help. I needed to reach out and I find it so hard to do.
In regard to your questions,I have cut out chocolate,caffeine,milk prod.,fried and high fat foods.Occasionally I will have a decaf chilled coffee drink at the coffee shop(it prob. has milk in it),other than that the only triggers I know of are rum,which I have on special occasions.We are retired and I feellike we have done too much vacationing lately.that can cause 2 problems,being on the raod and being IBS C is not fun.I need the fredom to go to the bathroom whenever the urge hits me,not riding miles from a place to go.The other aspect is that this situation tends to make me slip into that,oh I'm on vacation,I'll just have another drink or a few cookies,or some nonfat yogurt.Most of the time I am very careful not to upset my stomach,but I am not sure what is the culprit.
I am in the process of trying to stop the travel and try to reign in my little cheating self.This last time I have been sick since last Sat. and today it's not over.That should teach me! Another factor is that I should stay home until after 1pm to finish going to the bathroom.My muscles just have a hard time relaxing in that area. Sme days I have to go out in the morning and that often starts an attack.
Whew! SOrry this is so long.I have been thinking I should add meditation and yoga to my plan si yesterday I signd up for a yoga class and a gentle exercise class.Today I listened to a med. tape and napped.I am going to try to do that on a more reg. basis.
Thank you so much for your help.If there is anything you see or think might help I am open to your sug. Suzy
