Uh oh...

After battling some weird stomach thing this week, I really do not know where I stand UC wise. Early in the week, I suffered fatigue and was freezing and nausea which lasted until Thursday morning. I had no appetite since Monday, so I have eaten very little. However, tues, Wed, and thurs, I had wonderful bms. Granted they were accompanied with dry heaves, but still they were great. Friday and Saturday, I started feeling better, still did not eat much, but I did eat. Today, I ate Easter dinner with the family.

Here's my uh oh...haven't pooped since Thursday. Passed gas and blood, but no bm. I feel like I need to, but nothing...but blood. Have a GI appointment on Friday, but just don't get it. When I feel like I have the stomach bug, I pass great poo, but when I feel better, I get nothing.

I think you are constipated. The mention of freezing and nausea were exactly what I had during extreme constipation.

Stop eating fiberous foods, start prune juice, olive oil by the spoonful every day and lots of water and maybe even a gentle non-fiber laxative.

Olive oil doesn't cause D or to my knowledge aid with constipation...I take a tablespoon of it by itself every night shortly before bed and eat it daily with salads and other veggies.

I also wouldn't cut out all fibre completely either, fibre aids with both D and C.

Because it's an anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and has healing properties and is good for you...it's a healthy fat too.

And y'all do this everyday? I mixed a tablespoon of olive oil with some lemon juice last night before bed. This morning I pooped. Now I'm wondering if I drink it every night or just on those occasions where I need the boost.
