I was basically told by the gastrologist that I would have to suck it up and push through. I'm so glad I went to see him, Mom. What an unhelpful diagnosis. He says I probably had a bacteria in Dec that screwed up my system and it will take a while for my system to recover, like maybe a year. A YEAR! I can't live like this for a year! Dang it all! Of course by the time my system recovers, I'll probably have another bacteria or virus that screws me up worse and the cycle will continue. Ick.
And while I'm at it he said I should cut caffeine, fat, and carbs out of my diet, eat small meals throughout the day, and make sure they are bland. Why not just tell me to eat baby food for the rest of my days? Seriously, this is so wrong. And just in case, I'm going to have an ultra sound of my gallbladder, just to make sure that it isn't the problem, of course there's only a 5% chance that it is the problem, but he wants to check it out. Harumph. I just want to feel better, and wish me luck as I embark a journey on the FAtkins diet.

well, start with the carb and caffeine cut out. Get yourself some steak, bacon, eggs, veggies...
and some more bacon. Awwww yeahhhhh
Awwww yeahhhhh.... Bacon.... as Emeril puts it... It's a pork fat thing.
I have a friend that has this disease and now that I am telling you about it I can't remember what it's called, but she can't have any kind of gluten. If she does, she gets ill within an hour. Ill as in diarrhea and vomiting. Maybe you should ask them if this is what you need to do? I could also see who her GI was (it was here in Lincoln) and maybe you could schedule a visit with them just to get a second opinion? Just an idea. Let me know!!
Actually, gluten allergy was the first thing they tested for and I didn't have it. I'm thinking about a sencond opinion, but the first was so pricey, I don't know if I want to pay again.
