Still learning after 4 yrs

[Guest guest]

After 4 yrs you'd think I'd have this DS stuff figured out. Well, after 2

weeks of diarrhea and attributing it to my flu like symptoms, I have figured out

that my recent bout of diarrhea isn't connected to the virus. I am lactose

intolerant! I guess I will have to avoid milk/milk products like the plague. I

thought the bowel crap was related to the virus but had been on a Chai

latte kick(Gee thanks Marta for the habit...LOL) and found a brand I liked in

the

stores. At one of the discount places I found the Tazo concentrate for the

ridiculously low price of $1. Well, I ran out New years day and had a decent

24/48 hrs with little bowel problems. I thought my " virus " was better.

Then Tom wanted pancakes after work last night and I don't usually eat them but

did this once. Anyway, You CAN'T have pancakes with out milk and I drank a

big glass of milk. Well, I woke about 5am with severe cramping and watery

diarrhea. While I was bored on my potty, I sat there and put 2 and 2 together

and

deduced that it was the milk in the Chai And not the virus that has been

tearing me up. I'm going to avoid milk products for a few day's and test my

theory but I'm 98% sure it is the culprit. Will let you guys know how my Theory

works out.

Mel,

I am glad you made this connection. I have been

really focusing on eating healthy and concentrating on

what foods my body likes and what foods my body

rejects. Well, I already knew I was lactose

intolerant. I found that out at 3 months when I ate a

ice cream cone. I was just very thankful I was home

at the time.

What I have figured out recently is that sugar does a

real number on me. I have to stay away from sugar and

from milk products. The milk products I cannot eat is

milk, ice cream, sour cream, cream cheese, goat

cheese. I even stay away from cottage cheese and

yogurt although I think I am okay eating these. I

think that I get slight gas when I have yogurt or soy

milk.

I love it when I am eating healthy and I have bowel

movements that are close to what they were like

presurgery. Sorry if that was TMI.

, there is no such thing as TMI with this group. That is what we

are about. So, it is also true of me, when I eat correctly, my BM is

normal.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, bowel movements -- such language, such a topic for a board

like this. I can't take it! My tender ears are burring, burring, burning!

We've posted on much, much worse than that, . oh, how much you have to

learn about this bunch of twisted DSers. LOL

Jim,

That is why I love this list so much. I have learned

all I wanted to know and all I didn't want to know,

lol about this surgery. Whenever I have a concern, I

know exactly what to do because someone has gone

through it and has shared about it. Thanks everyone

for making this list awesome.

Marta,

I feel great as I have learned how to have presurgery

bm's. However, I still deal with a lot of gas. I

have eliminated flour from my diet. I stay away from

all milk products and I limit my sugar intake. But I

still get gas in the evenings. I notice that when I

don't eat that much, my gas is less but then that

isn't always true. I have noticed that it takes a few

days for my body to feel the effects of healthy

eating. I think some people just deal with more gas

than others??

Does anyone have any suggestions about the gas issue?

I know we have talked alot about this subject. I am

single and I really would like to meet someone someday

but I am embarrassed about the gas issue. Maybe I

should only date dsers, lol.

,

I have " rumbles " that get reabsorbed. It is irritating and I know my

honey can feel it when he hugs me. Farts aren't a big problem. As you

noted, much of it is under my control.

Maybe you will find someone with IBS. lol I did. Just go for it and

things will work out for themselves. Guys don't worry about that sort

of thing as much as women do. Just think back. Don't you have any men

in your family? lol

No, we know that has no men in her family. If she did, she would know

that men not only congratulate one another on " great " farts, they give pries

for the loudest, smelliest, sneakiest and a whole host of other categories.

Men have an Fartadamy award show each year!

The one thing I dislike most is my IBS or what ever it is that has me

permanently on pudding poop alert.

Marta,

I have an ex-husband who is from Mexico and he thinks

farting is not cool. Oh well, huh? He got onto my

daughter's case for farting while we were eating

dinner. I guess he thinks that farting at the dinner

table is not good, which he has a point. But, I just

told him that in my house, my daughter and I burp and

fart as we please, that we don't have to live by fart

and burp rules, lol. I told him that if you can't

burp and fart in your own home, where can you? On the

positive side, he now farts when he wants around me.

But, I don't feel comfortable farting around him like

I did when we were married.

My nephew lives with me. He is 20. If I fart and it

smells, he makes a big deal about it. Thank goodness

he isn't around a lot since he works.

My daughter is really cool. She doesn't make me feel

bad for farting, even if it does smell. Thank

goodness for that since we share a bedroom.

loves my farts. He has an evil scheme in which he plans to record

them and sell them to the movie studios for sound effects. He says nothing

they could imagine could match my farts!!!!!!!!!!!
