Therapy Thursday

Well, today my gripe is IBS. I hate having this. I know-newsflash-who likes it? But today it's especially annoying. I have a workshop at least 25 minutes away from home. So with that comes the planning-when do I eat-what to eat-dilemma. And of course I had to start planning that yesterday. Nope, can't eat that, have something to do tomorrow.

I have to time eating too. I eat when I get up. (Extra early to allow for the IBS crap) heheheh no pun intended. Then I have to eat before I leave. But not to close to leaving to allow for the IBS crap. Then while I'm there, I can't eat. So there's no on-the-road-emergencies. We all know how those go. Well maybe you don't, but I do!

Then I am starving when I get home. And with IBS when you don't eat for a while and then finally do eat. Look out, stomach cramps! Oh what fun.

I knew I was in for good times when my gastrointerologist said "Even drinking water can set off an attack." Oh how we all did laugh.

Okay if you are still ready this nasty entry, sorry. But that is my gripe for the day. It probably warrants a longer discussion of the intricacies, but who wants to hear that, raise your hand? Didn't think so.

Mine wasn't as bad as yours either, but... There might be a way to get help. First you have to get diabetes. Seriously, when I started taking Metformin, it almost made me regular and uniform hehe (Before you get too excited for me, I mean as far as bowels go). Then if you can get high cholesterol because three Omega 3 pills also helps.
