Gained 1.6

Still in the 12s and bang on losing my 1st stone so i really dont want a gain next week!!

Still having issues - but then i have done for about 4 years. Went to the docs once but they werent helpful at all. Ive taken the advice Sadie and im off to the docs again on the 21st (good thing its not an emergency eh!!!)

They don't hurry themselves babe unless you are rolling around the floor in agony as I was last year... And even then I had nine weeks before a true diagnosis... Hope you are alright...xx

aww hun I feel your pain - I have to take tablets most weeks to get the PF going. My diet has plenty of veg and fruit in, although perhaps too much diet coke and not enough water.........if I have rubbish foods I am okay - the richness has an affect TMI!

Hope the docs sort you out xxx

Still the same situation here!! Nothing has changed. Last time PF visited properly was 2nd Feb - or whatever saturday is near then!! Hence the 2.5 loss.

Since then PF has been twice, but most unimpressively.

I STS this week, its all rather demotivating!! Just trying to hang in there till Friday so that i can speak to someone.

Im not hungry and feel constantly sick - which isnt surprising!!!

hope you're all okay xxx

Yikes, that's far too long ago, no wonder you're feeling ill, is it bad enough for a visit to the doctors do you think or take some tablets?

Ive tried tablets before. Took sennakot last time this got bad and it still took me 3 days to go!! Plus then i wouldnt want to have to take tablets like that all the time.

Doctors appt booked for friday as this has gone on far to long, its not just the 'not going' its the pain when i do - sorry TMI!!!

I have ducolax and thats the only one that works - senna isnt strong enough x

Is it safe to take in on an on-going basis?

Its so annoying, on SW we eat lots of fibre and drink lots of water - this should not be an issue!!!!!!!! xxx

I have 2 tablets once a week (if i have not been) and yes i believe so.

Doctors can prescribe it too. Not sure if over the counter is cheaper.

You don't want to rely on tablets as it makes your bowel lazy, now that I'm suggesting you are, but in moderation I'd say it's fine to take them.

is it worth taking a look at your food diary & see if there is a pattern?

 

[pesty]

Thanks EB - will look into it!

HH - there is no pattern, ive had a look, I use my B choice daily. The only time i can go is
a) when i drink sugar free energy drinks (which i have cut out completely over the last 3 weeks)
b) when i drink cider - last time i did was the last time i went!!

Hmmm interesting, hopefully the dr will know what's causing it x

Hope so!! To be honest ive never been quite right - always a once a week kinda girl, but just assumed it was stress related.

I was fine with it, but now feeling sick and horrible all the time is getting a bit much.

didnt want to take tablets though as if i take them on week i'll have a better loss purely for that reason and then gain the next even if i am 100% due to not having the PF visit, which would be really disheartening. But then again thats no different really to what i am going through now (just the other way round!)

Thanks all for your comments!

Morning hun. Hope you're OK. Know what you mean about taking tablets for the poo fairy.....my doc went mad as its just a vicious cycle and your bowel gets lazy, that's why they ended up prescribing me movicol as its not a laxative..... It makes your bowel hold water to ' make things easier' iykwim lol all the tablets I'm on really screw with my system ......and I feel your pain! Xx

Pesty try having lots of oranges not juice as it is the fibre in the whole fruit which should help... Fresh figs and lots of water... CD is right tablets have what they call a rebound effect it ends up making things worse as your body needs to be regulating itself... Sudafed for nasal congestion does the same thing, makes things better briefly but if used too much can then cause the passages to block... xx

Evening all.

Typically PF visited 1 hour before the doctors!!! They've suggested I may have IBS and have sent me away to try movicol (like laxido) for 3 months and then go back.

Just relieved that I've been today!!! I feel so much better!!

Hoping this will help things and maybe ill get a loss this week? Xxx

 

[Happy Holidays]

Yay that's good news, some foods trigger IBS don't they? I remember my sister had it years ago & she started the Hay diet, not dissimilar to SW & she said that worked for her & she was able to find her triggers. Have you eaten something different over the last day or two which maybe led to PF visiting?

 

[pesty]

Hey lovie. Don't really know much about IBS to e honest! Had nothing different in the day time - I'm trying to think what I had for dinner as that's really the only thing that changes.

Oh actually, I had a can if cider 2 days ago - that's what I've completely cut out and the last time I had 2 pints of aspells was the last time I went!
