Hmmm...did some thinking/reassessing re: Nexium. I am going to stop taking it as I do not find it effective and seem to be experiencing negative side-effects including facial edema and bloating, cyclical vomitting, more D attacks, nausea and cramping & a mysterious perpetual hiccup.
green tea chai with rice dream
rice crispies
steamed jasmine rice portabella mushrooms asparagus green sauce (so yummy & safe--just asparagus, baby spinach & fresh basil pureed!)
mini potatoes oyster mushroom (my all time favourite 'shroom!) more asparagus green sauce
mini potatoes french cut green beans
organic puffed corn (no, not popcorn; just plain "Nature's Path" puffed corn!)
AND, I CONFESS, A WHOLE POT OF UFO COFFEE!!! (But no cigarrettes. I couldn't sleep, so I drank a pot of coffee and slept like a babe. Warped. I had a few Immodium in me. Totally irrational, but after a D attack, I had this HUGE CRAVING for a pot of coffee. Riddle me that one, Batman.)
Summary: Well, I'm eating better & better again (& with self confidence) for IBS. Thanks jaime, karen, michele, & maria. Your menus/notes have really helped get me back on track. I'm probably not eating enough, but I'll get there. I'm learning that simple FEELS good, and tastes good. Also, that rice steamer was a wicked buy!
Still having D attacks, but Immodium Advanced helped me managed. Also, ABSTAINING from my smoking addiction is actually helpful. May I say that I like myself more when I abstain? Nearly my 2 week aniversary.
Kate.
