Re: NO INFLAMMATION SEEN!!!!!!!

[Guest guest]

Hi Eileen,What a GREAT news, i am so happy for you and for me too to learn that the inflammation disappeared with the help of the diet. I am thinking of you and the D problem you have, my only symptom was always D so i know how frustrating it is to have it. Unfortunately i have no advice or suggestion to give you, i hope someone else will. It is strange you still have it as there is no inflammation but our bowels have mind of their owns sometimes

I hope you will soon get the solid BMs, to me they are also very important because unwillingly they affect me on the whole day basis, if it is more mushy in the morning i will be all day blue (well, exaggerating there but it will keep me in strange mood at least for few hours) and wondering what i ate wrong and why it happened.

So keep the strength and spirit up, this too shall resolve.JanjaUC 07/07SCD 08/07no meds, 17 weeks pregnant

I still swear by very ripe bananas-organic with many small black spots

that Elaine talks about. Start with small amounts, if you don't already

eat these. They can bring on C if they are really ripe and they have

the natural sugars fully developed. These even work for me when I have

watery D. My Doctors always ask how I control D and then pretend to

listen :<)

well last week was the upper

endoscopy plus colonoscopy - not even 9 months on SCD- no inflammation

And so you should be! This is great!

The preparation for those tests is pretty darned traumatic. In a weird

kind of way, I'm grateful that they had me on IV nutrition for two days

after the surgery, because it gave my insulted gut a chance to get over

having a snit over the prep before I started sipping water or broth

again, let alone eating anything it might feel it had shove right

along!

What are you doing at this point to handle the situation? (Refresh our

collective memories.)

I've been torturing myself all day going stay intro or put in my

sadly missed banana pancakes - want to feel that I gave intro an

honest try I did see a few more pieces instead of just watery last

time - by tomorrow I want my bananas back!! LOL for years thats' what

people were told for D it makes sense - thanks

one son is still D so maybe they passed it back to me - who knows -

i'm messed up

thank you and I'm doing intro right now (broth broth/chicken,homemade

yog/honey and chicken with olive oil/salt and baked/grilled steak-did

have eggs in but remove as it is still 2-3 time sa day D) not getting

firmer yet BUT I am aware my 4 kids are taking turns having loose

BM's so it is probably a combo of prep plus virus - but I want to be

firm :-(

thanks

eileen - Do you feel like I was given an answer because they can't

figure me out or does his answer sound right to anyone??? anyone been

told that etc????

thanks - I have wished for an IV at times just to give the gut a

healing chance - this too shall pass :-)
