Hey,

Still waiting on blood results

Not feeling great. Lots of tummy troubles too. Curious about the results for IBS.
Lots of canker sores in my mouth too. Does anyone suffer with them during a flare?
Still not wanting to complain. Still able to work my full time job & do my husband's business PT.
A little more than I feel up to handling but I'm handling.

Canker sores are miserable. I get them as well, and in fact am suffering along with one right now.

I am sorry about the tummy problems ... they are miserable as well. My husband has IBS - was diagnosed around 15 years ago. The only thing that has ever worked for him was an extremely clean diet. He was so bad that no nourishment was absorbing through digestion, and he was so weak he could hardly get off the couch. After a ton of tests, etc. and he was diagnosed, we went to a Naturopathic doctor. With lots of supplements and one year of eating a totally clean diet (veggies, chicken and fish, small amounts of grains, flax oil only, only water and green or herbal tea) - he was symptom free. It comes back when he doesn't watch it.

Am anxious to hear what you find out. With RA to deal with this as well --- my heart goes out to you.

Hang in there,
Kelsey
