Evening Glenda, Alright, this is another problem I too once had. Some things just do not agree with my stomach, and it will make my liver and spleen hard as a rock. It is all a trail and error thing my dear. Also, I learned this, I can not eat more than what fits in a small salad bowl, at one time. For me, to much food makes my stomach feel like i just left the Thanksgiving Day dinner table. And if I allow to much food in at one time, this will swell my stomach, and everything starts pushing against everything else, Like the liver gets hard, which pushes on my spleen, when spleen gets hard it pushes on my stomach. We must find a happy middle. For me all meals are small, But, I eat all day long, my doctor actually told me to eat every six hours, because the liver, not filtering probably, doesn't distribute the food quick enough and to the right places, so I now have low sugar.

Although it is not low sugar, but a complication of hep c. My doctor told me always carry food with me everywhere I go, because when it hits, it is fast, light headed, dizzy, flush, change colors, very white, shake, feeling of loss of control, can't move, heart begins to beat very fast. I don't dare go anywhere by myself anymore because of this situation. Elevate your feet any time you are sitting down, and try a lean back position instead of sitting straight up, get the pressure off your stomach, and spleen. And, please make sure your using the bathroom 4 to 5 times a day, most important. I take Lactulose for this. And, I'm not talking about peeing. Don't mean to sound so crude, but I don't know any other way to say it.

I have tried to eat fresh veggies, but don't do as much as I should. My stomach hurts and doctors and nurses said Glenda there is nothing wrong, you have been scope, scanned, they tell me about the acities and spleen being enlarged. I knew it was something to do with what I was eating. I did go to store today and we bought a lot of fruit and stuff for a salad,

I will only eat alittle one because I thought it was the lettuce. I love beans and fish and I eat chicken, but I just can't eat much at a time. I waste food when we go out. I don't like left overs, my husband will eat them. Thanks if I think of anything else I will ask and I do have a pool in the back Bill said the water 78 degrees today. I still get cold easy but not in the sun. When we go out I always bring a sweater, or wind breaker. Thanks for sharing, Hugs, Glenda In a message dated 4/30/2007 6:07:29 PM Eastern Standard Time, whomeinnc writes: Evening Glenda, Yes, I stay away from salt, it is almost impossible, because everything,

pre-made, canned, or boxed, has salt. So, I do the next best thing. Every thing is hand made. Like my breakfast, would be oatmeal, the kind you bowl, not packaged. Toast, wheat, no butter, but peanut butter, or jam, a banana, and a glass of milk. Lunch would be something like, tuna, little dressing, or mayonnaise. apple sauce, half a glass of milk. maybe some pasta. Dinner would be baked chicken, baked potato, salad, and a orange. In between all meals I eat at random. Most is fruit and fresh veggies, steamed. I do eat a lot more than listed, but was giving you an idea. Eggs are a good source of protein, fish, peanut butter, beans you cook all day long. It's a fine line my dear, to balance the protein with the no salt. This for me is a must to keep the acities down, because when the acities acts up, along with my enlarged spleen, a whole

lot of pushing begins inside my stomach. And wash every thing. Learned this one the hard way. Made me sick as a dog for 3 days. Hope this was a help, and time my dear. Feel free to ask away. Respectfully Star1956 Exercise is hard in the winter because i can't bend over, but my in ground pool is open, and it acts like a giant pillow under the belly, and exercise is easy. Now, I have to up the protein a bit more, to regain some muscle.glendajohn25aol wrote: In a message dated 4/29/2007 3:10:19 PM Eastern Standard Time, whomeinnc writes: Honey, big I am not, but instead the opposite. 127 pounds and 5.8 My acities is controlled by my diet. But, other things bring it on, like sitting straight up. I must be leaned back, or I swell like I'm nine months. Two much walking brings it on in my legs, especially ankles. Oh my that is how I feel from my stomach, I thought your picture you looked small. Do you stay away from salt? What other things do you do. God Bless, Glenda See what's free at AOL.com.
