Gastritis...or, how to convince yourself that you are dying

Trust me honey, even as far out as I am, I'm STILL dumb with food.  And sometimes I'm dumb with the same foods over and over again, LOL.  I made this wonderful minestrone last week with kale in it.  Ate a big bowl and bloated up like a balloon.   I just couldn't believe it could be the kale.  So I ate another big bowl the next day.   I pooped kale for four days straight, LOL.  

That's awesome, Julie!!  Not really, but you just made me feel a whole lot better. 

I had gastritis a few years ago as the result of NSAID usage to treat back problems and then a broken toe.  I also thought I was having an obstruction.  It is seriously the kind of pain you never, ever want to have again once you have experienced it. 

You've got that right, sister!!  It was pure misery - I don't wish that pain upon anyone!

i am now lactose intolerant, i can eat cheese, yogurt and a little half and half  or milk in my tea or coffee but anything more that its down hill after that! i am also not that far out but even a small piece of ice cream cake starts the fouth of july! i also try to use non dairy creamers more ofthen.
