Hi all,

I had a lovely Christmas. I got up early, and was able to eat breakfast.I think that I'm back to a stable state. I had one egg and two egg whites scrambled with veggies and lean turkey sausage, fresh blueberries and raspberries and a piece of banana bread that I made. I did some reading, then darling hubby got up and we opened presents. I had turkey for lunch and dinner with a yam and then safe mashed potatoes for dinner.

I got the hypnotherapy CD's, a yoga DVD, some digestive enzymes among other things. I pretty much took it easy for the whole day.

Today I felt a little constipated,didn't go Saturday and then a tiny bit yesterday.I had 1 tsp acacia with one tsp ground flax seeds before breakfast. This helped move things along nicely. I have to be careful or I can go the other way very easily. We went to see Good night and Good Luck at the movies and I had some abdominal cramping but I was able to deep breathe and relax and was ok. I went to the bathroom when the movie was over. I was a little nervous cause we were sitting in the middle of the row where my DH wanted to sit. I made it through though!!

I have to make sure not to eat clarified butter on my potatoes and yams and stay away from nuts for a while. If I do very low fat I'm ok. I also have to make myself drink more water.

I worried that I had lost a lot of weight and so hubby bought us a scale today. I have lost a little but not too much thank goodness. I am already thin. I had two slices of banana bread today after meals to try to gain a bit back.

Now that I know whats what I hope to stave off attacks.

Thanks for listening,

June
