Very interesting - thanks Kate!

So being a married technologically advanced husband (ie computer geek) I researched on the net and discovered many, many symptoms that sounded like moi. Mind you Coeliac Disease also sounds very similar! Anyways, I found a very basic meal plan and have stuck to that for a week (yes, wonders never cease - I actually stuck to a diet!!) with the results that (a) symptoms have reduced greatly and (b) I lost 3 kilos in the first week. Granted (b) excites me more than (a) but when you are my weight....well! The meal plan basically cuts out all the yummy foods leaving you with a very bland diet - 2 slices wholemeal toast for breaky, some crackers and vegemite with a piece of fruit for morning tea, sandwich or salad for lunch, and a "normal" dinner - not to many vegies and no creamy yummy things. No fried or calorie laden anythings. I've also given up coffee as that can be a "trigger" food too. I put the theory to a test today and had some potato wedges with sweet chilli sour cream for lunch with some coffee. Well! My oh my thank heavens I was at home!! Within half an hour symptoms had reappeared with a vengeance. ROFLOL - back to the blandness for me! Which isn't too bad 'cause I ain't hungry. And eating with me is more "habit" than hunger so I must break the habit. Back to regular quilting stations now.... Sounds ominously like gall stones to me! If it is, BTDT! And some of the symptoms are very like IBS (with which I was diagnosed 20 years ago, and the symptoms of which neatly masked the gall bladder disease for 10 years!). Have you been scanned for gall stones? It isn't the big ones that cause the problem, it's the little ones... Eat something rich or fatty, or just too much of anything and the pain starts when the gall bladder (just under your ribs on the right) compresses to release bile to help you digest it... If a small stone gets lodged in the bile duct, the pain can be excruciating. If a stone or some gravel DO get into the digestive tract, it can cause all sorts of problems for days afterwards... And if it rests on the walls of the gut, it can cause erosions or even ulcers, adding to the problems! You might never get the pain of a lodged stone, but if there are small stones passing through the gut, they can take days to work through and for things to settle down again. Here's a site that describes the symptoms nicely: http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/diseases/...derdisease.htm When you get to the bottom, remember that it says that after surgery, "most people will be aware that their pain has completely disappeared and they no longer need to avoid fatty food." That word MOST is very important! I *do* still have to avoid fatty foods! Helps me keep to my WW diet, I'm telling you! Almost 60 lbs gone now, and feeling so much better in so many ways... Meanwhile, work out your trigger foods: mine were anything fatty (like fried stuff, cream, anything made with full fat milk or butter), all red meats, red wine, coffee, anything sweet like cake and chocolates (which are fatty as well!), some nuts, and just eating too much in one sitting! -- Kate XXXXXX R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.katedicey.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |

Very interesting - thanks Kate! I learned a lot very fast when I got hauled into hospital for a week with an acute attack of colyiocystitus, with a severely infected gall bladder. It was bad enough that they wouldn't operate for fear of peritonitis! So I had to get better first, and then it came out at Christmas 2003. -- Kate XXXXXX R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.katedicey.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |

Do you also have problems with fresh fruit? I've found that fresh
strawberries (any berries - acids I guess) and fresh peaches will send my system into a tizzy -- as will fried foods. Good luck with your new diet -- and I'll agree, bland is better than going through roll after roll of toilet paper G ME-Judy "Sharon Harper" wrote in message u...

I can't help but notice that what upset your stomach again was potatoes with
