Fasting today: give me some DS love!

 Previously on "Tummy Troubles," I posted that I'm having a lot of gas and bloating, yada yada, and that eating carbs definitely contributes to my issues.

My GI usually suggests that I fast for a day to give my tummy a chance to settle, so I'm going to take him up on it.

Meanwhile: GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I hate fasting. It sucks, I get whiny and cranky (and it's only 9:30am). 

But I'm going to do this because I know it will help me. Also, hopefully get the sugar out of my system so I'll stop craving it. Sigh.

Send me some DS love to get through this awful day! 

good luck I am not sure i could do it....

Oh my, I don't like to fast either, since I got the DS; it's really hard. Pre-op it wasn't a big deal, but if I have to fast for very long nowadays, it's pretty hard to do.

Good luck, I feel for ya!

Oh you poor thing - I feel for you!  Have you ever tried Dida?  It's for a yeast overgrowth....maybe that's part of your problem.  http://www.didacandidasupplement.co.uk/

Are you using a probiotic?  I take Primal Ultra Defense daily and it's made a big difference to my guts and bowels.

Good luck!

 I take Align, plus a Bifidus/Acidophilus probiotic. I take a ton of probiotics actually, as well as eat whole milk yogurt. 

I'm hungry. Sigh. 

Thanks for the love everyone! Keep it coming! Hopefully I'll get my house cleaned and tons of laundry done during this sucky time. 

 Have you ruled out lactose intolerance?  Sending you well wishes...

when I have fasted in the past I have read books on  how to do it and why.  I found them motivating.  I felt better after each fast.  They actually suggest we all should fast at the change of seasons.  It give our digestive system a rest.  It is based off olden days when people didn't always have food. 

No words of wisdom here, just support!

Good luck, you are a better woman than I!

I love you, DS sista!   I'll be home tonigh****ching Idle if you want to talk. 

Fasting sucks! Sending DS love your way.

Hope at least the fasting helps you sort things out.
