IBS

I was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome on 16th June'10. Just what the doctor had predicted. Wonderful. Just what I needed. Not.

But what to do? Get on with it I suppose. The doc didn't offer me any drugs. I'm happy about that. I take enough drugs already. All prescription drugs by the way.

I decided to closely monitor the symptoms to see exactly how disruptive it is for me. To put it into context. See if I can cope; if I can manage it. I was advised by the doc to change my diet. He recomended white bread, white rice, cooked veg, and to avoid dairy. Mmmm....

So I have to do a bit of diary keeping a bit of research and a bit of monitoring.

Now maybe you can see what I mean when I say family ie. - siblings and parents = poor health for me. This is why I have to put myself first. I'm falling to bits physically and mentally. So it's going to be self presivation or self destruct. That's the bottom line - no pun intended :(
