As y'all know I've been having some problems. The 'scopy showed nothing
"nasty" and have not heard back about the bits sent for further tests so

am
assuming all is a-ok. The doctor did say it could possibly be IBS
(irritable bowel syndrome).

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!

Coeliac is where the person has an allergy/intolerance to wheat/gluten stuff
like that.

Ah well, them's the breaks huh? I still manage to fit in the odd thing (had
steamed raspberry jam pudding and ice cream last night) but am trying to
stay "safe" for awhile.

Sharon, I'm so glad you seem to have discovered what the problem has
been and -- even better -- what to do about it! It's too bad that the
really yummy things are always the ones we must cut out, isn't it? :S
But if the results are so good, it's worth it!

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.

Yippee. I have already downloaded your post with plan and some
recipes. This AM my friend and I went back to WW to get back on
program. I just forwarded your excellent information to her. We
can use all the good ideas to keep motivated. Thanks again Kate.
Hugs, PAT

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

I can't help but notice that what upset your stomach again was potatoes with
sweet chile SOUR CREAM. Might you have a milk allergy? (lactose
intolerance)
