<< Robin,

I have been able to enjoy pizza by making my own with a fat free crust made

with the fat free biscuit mix. Use soy burger meat and low fat mozarella

with lots of veggies. It's not quite the same as a Godfather's pizza but it

does fulfill the craving. Give it a try!!

you can also use very thinly sliced tomatoes in lieu of tomatoe sauce. you'd

be surprised at the taste. or find fat free english muffins & put on your

toppings and broil for a few minutes. there are ways to get around all the

fat and still have some flavor.

Hi Friends,I hope that everyone is having a comfortable day or nite.I have

found that most fat foods do not bother me any worse than fatfree.What might

make me sick today might not bother me the next time I eat it.I guess I am

really lucky to be able to eat fat foods on ocassion.I don't eat that much

anyway and the doc has never told me to watch fat foods.I guess this is

another case of whats good for one person is not good for another. B.

--- Yup, that's exactly what I have found. It makes NO difference

what I eat or when I eat it. Some days I am miserable and some days

it doesn't bother me much. The one thing that doesn't change is that

I am in pain ALL THE TIME. The only variables are the amounts-

varying of course from a lot to not so much. What I get weary of is

this----gee, do you think when you get some time off it will help?

Or how bout this one-----do you think it is the stress? I just want

to scream at them! They have no idea how much this has changed my

life.....all I want is to be able to do the basic things.....thanks

for letting me vent.

- I'm sorry to hear you're in pain 24 hours a day, but it sure

helps me. My GI doc keeps insisting that I couldn't possibly have 24-hour

pain. And it isn't consistant - not eating makes me hurt, fats do, but

sometimes I can get away with it. Today and yesterday have been major pain

days but I have been eating extremely low fat these past 2 days. Anyway, you

might feel as if you're just venting, but your venting sure helps me feel

like my symptoms aren't quite so atypical.

Atypical is the opposite of the typical symptoms.

I think that to qualify to be a GI doctor, they should have to have at least

one ERCP (awake) and have chronic pancreatitis or at least have had an acute

attack. Then the level of understanding and helpfulness would increase very

quickly.

What on earth is atypical?? Everyone seems to have different

symptoms at different times, huh? Anyway, let me know of other

things that help, etc. I am new to all this, and sometimes I think

if I just KNEW something, it would help. Not eating makes me hurt,

eating makes me hurt-it's crazy just Because there is no rhyme nor

reason to it all.....thanks,

Dear Helen,

Wouldn't it be a huge step forward if the GI docs went through

that?? LOL...LOL.... just picturing my doc lying there makes me laugh...and

laugh...

Thanks for the good laugh!!
