Of course when we're getting ready to go try a new restaurant that just opened in our neighborhood, I would end up doubled over with stomach issues! Of course! I'm so frustrated. I just want to have this colonoscopy and figure out what's going on with me so that I can fix it!! I don't care how awful the prep for it is; I need answers. This is embarassing and no fun! And of course really freaking uncomfortable. I hate that this seems to be controlling my life and what I feel like I can and cannot do! Darn you GI issues!!!

I have a bit of a trucker mouth in real life, which you may not believe if you saw me, but I do and I really wanna say a lot more than 'darn you GI issues'!!!

Park,

I've been swearing like a sailor since ten years of age. :P

All I can really do is relate to you and feel your pain. It really sucks.

Did you know that they actually say that swearing helps to relieve stress and prevent migraines? I read that in a study on headaches years ago. I support it. :)

I love going out to new places, so I understand your disappointment!

Thoughts and prayers

Park,

That stinks. Scope prep is no fun but the sooner you find out what's going on, the sooner you can try to get it under control :)

I am so sorry girl!!!

Have you tried an elimination diet by chance? Do you notice your cramps after eating a particular food? Gluten intolerance seems to be the hot topic lately but it is real.

I was talking to my sister about it (she's a family physician), & she said our wheat/gluten now is so genetically modified that many people's bodies aren't tolerating it.

I personally took a breath test to test for celiac issues 2 yrs ago when I had a few months of gut problems. It came back normal.

My bff's daughter was having doubled over cramping like you and diarrhea, mood changes etcccc. She had the surgical procedure where they scope you & nothing was found. She was getting no answers so cut out gluten on her own & she improved!?

Bottom line, I'm looking forward to you getting tests and hopefully answers. Praying for you & your filthy mouth too LOL (I'm a truckers mouth too so I 'ain't judging) tongue

Hugs!

Hahaha! Lisa, I love it.

I've actually been tested for celiac and they said I don't have any gluten issues. I'm guessing logically that it's either the IBS because of the cruddy 8 months I've had, or some sort of something that developed from all the antibiotics I was on. At this point I just wanna know!

We made it through dinner but I just picked at my food. It was a bad night to go because it was their second night open and we brought my son (Parker) and it was a 2 hour meal! Alone that's awesome but with a 2 year old, no thanks!

I know I'm not doing myself any favors, but I'm gonna have a glass of wine to wash down my Imodium. It's been a LONG day!

It's an encouraging sign you went to the dinner. Yes, it probably would have been lees stressful without a young child but at least while you're suffering inside you can look at the reason your trying to hold it together.
I hope your test give you some clarity on what's troubling you.
