Hey Ally, how are you now? Glad to hear the pain has begun to subside, sometimes anyway. Also looks like you have a chance to meet your target by the time you go on holiday - good news!

I keep meaning to ask you - what are / is hot choc Weetabix? Sounds nice..... I discovered banana Weetabix a few weeks ago & am now hooked, haven't had the choc ones for ages though.

I haven't seen normal chocolate weetabix about for ages, so I improved, basically what is says, hot milk with highlights or options in it poured over weetabix, absolutely gorgeous.

Pretty much lost my appetite completely yesterday, didnt eat anything from around 2pm. Just felt really ill all day and kept crying on jamie for no reason (he still keeps asking what was wrong and i honestly don't know, though he thinks it might be cos my hopital appointment, which should have been yesterday, was cancelled), and this morning not been much better, pain in my stomach is killing me, and just about managed to eat a banana for breakfast. At the drs tomorrow so see what she says this time.

I'm a lazy bum and haven't updated. Stomachs gone bad again, hospital was posponed to july but GP managed to get it put forward to june.

Anyway, i've been on plan, just not updated my diary. Lost 1lb this week, slightly annoyed cos thats over 2 weeks, i was showing a 2lb loss up til this morning, but stupid me did a green day yesterday, knowing full well they bloat me badly, and i did it right before weight day, silly girl.

Is there anything you can pinpoint that is different from when it was improving. Different foods different meds different exercise changed stress levels more fluid or less fluid? I know how debilitating it is so I really feel for you. I only found out by chance/accident that it was one of my meds which was causing pretty much all my gut symptoms and I was at my wits end before that.

Hope it starts to improve again soon. :bighug:

 

[Ally89]

Think I've semi cracked it. I was really ill sunday night, and all I had had was an ice cream. We looked back on other days i'd been really bad and low and behold about 8/10 times i had had ice cream same day or day before. I have cut lactose out, changed to soya milk and i can feel the difference, i still have pain but tolerable, some food with lactose set it off, other i get gas, others i get nothing, so trial and error and what dairy i can and can't eat at moment. I don't think its just lactose causing all the pain, but i think it has been irritating it.

 

[Purple Patsy]

Sounds as though dairy is the culprit then. Keep a diary of the suspects so you don't forget or miss a trigger food. Glad it has gotten a bit easier meantime.

 

[Ally89]

Seems to be mostly Ice cream and milk at the moment, and sweets with milk powder in. Though I did try whippy ice cream tonight and so far seem ok, bit more pain than usual but not untolerable like when i had the maxibon the other day. Cheese and yogurt both appear ok too.

 

[Seacrest]

Hey, just caught up. This could be really good news at last, if it is trigger foods at least you can control it. Hope you can really narrow it down & can then start getting some real help on this. Fingers crossed!

 

[Ally89]

We're narrowed it down. I've pretty much been pain free for last few days (except when I had a whippy ice cream oopsy). Went hospital tuesday, told him about the lactose making it worse so he decided to test me for coeliac and said once i'd had the blood test try going gluten free for a while. You've guessed it....since wednesday the pain has pretty much gone all the time. Won't get the results for a few weeks yet, but it looks like i am either coeliac (which can cause lactose intolerance when left untreated, and 85% of polycystic ovary suffers get it too. Oh and depression is a symptom) of gluten intolerant it seems.

The last week i have been pretty much been off the rails with SW, I'm having trouble adapting to the gluten free thing, even though there is plenty of stuff i can have instead, or make myself with gluten free flour etc, i'm just struggling getting my head around it all i guess.

 

[Seacrest]

How's it going. I really hope you have found the answer to your pain.
