Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: REPORTING IN

Yikes! What a nasty day. I have a rude case of edema--SWELLING: ankles, legs, belly; EVERYTHING. Plus I'm C from taking too much Peptobismal! I've been using a lot of salt and salt products and I think I beyond over-did it.
My legs are watermelons--it's spooky.

So...here's what I've consumed so far, today:

--3 jello cups (3 x 1/2 c.)
--water, over 2L; 1/2 pot coffee; 4 cups tea.
--1 L broth

--2 plates zucchini
--spinach/herbs
--2 plates portabella mushrooms
--12 yellow cherry tomatoes
--4 small heads of lettuce
--a green onion

NO MORE LETTUCE FOR ME. I hate it and I feel waterlogged.
I don't know how to manage this HUGE problem other than drinking lots. I might take some MILK OF MAGNESIA and rid myself of this agony--I feel like a bag of **** !!!

Potential snacks later? Probably some Cran-Grape juice spritzers. AND DEFINITELY more water and/or tea!!! Maybe more jellow, too. I am such a huge fool. When will I see my knee caps again??? I give up.

Kate.
