How Strange My Life Has Become!

LMAO -

This thread made my day!

Before diagnosis, I thought I had become slightly obsessed with my "movements" because I was trying to figure out what the heck was going on! Always looking - evaluating - analyzing....Wouldn't have dared to mention it to anyone, though.

Now, it's a common conversation in my life!

Evaluating the quality of the week by the ... quality of movements is hysterical.

Got glutened tonight at a restaurant (grrr) --- let's just say I was the queen of the throne for a while this evening!

After FINALLY having a normal "formed" bowl movement, I, too, felt like throwing a big party. I was so excited that after years of diarrhea, I could be normal once again! :P

The other day, one of my friends asked me about HER bowel movements. I've crossed over from poop-conscious to poop guru. :lol:

She had noticed a change that concerned her, and after several questions about length of time it had been happening (less than a week :rolleyes: ), diet changes, frequency, color, floatability, etc., I told her that it was probably something she ate and to let me know if it didn't improve in a week.

Think I should have charged her a co-pay? :lol:

I still know where all the handy bathrooms are, but I too can eat before I go out ... what a pleasure that is!

Yup, I'm one of the Poop freaks :D

Personally, I'm lobbying for a handicapped parking sticker, nothing worse than making a desperation sprint from the back rows of the parking lot.

Shirley, I love your sig. line about learning to dance in the rain. I use it all the time now and everyone marvels at how "philosophical" I've become. Then I tell them I ripped it off B)

:lol: I can't remember where I got it from, but as I grew up on the North West (wet) Coast, it's really suitable. If you don't do all the fun things in the rain, you don't do them at all :P

And yes, I don't wait for the storms to pass in our lives either, it's much too short to waste time.

      If you don't like prunes, Figs are rich in fiber, with 3-5 dried figs providing about 5 grams.

      Fiber Supplement

      Thanks, I do include chia seeds and ground flax seed in my diet to help as well but on days that I'm not close to my target of 30 grams of fiber, I would add the Benefiber. My IBS-C was much better with both natural foods and the supplement so I will continue to search for another natural supplement that is not based on wheat to have when needed. Thanks

      So, since total iga 646, was high ,  was tTg iga even tested? It is not uncommon to test negative for antibodies and even biopsies to still have Celiac Disease.  Many on this forum have gone 10 years testing negative and surviving multiple misdiagnoses before finally being diagnosed as celiac. If trial GFD after all the negative tests are concluded brings improvement, will you continue to eat gluten and suffering since the doctor says you are not sick? Your list of symptoms, mostly unrelated to each other, certainly fits the pattern of celiac disease.  Do you really have nine different diseases, all with cause unknown?

      Welcome @Trish G to the forum. Hard or lumpy stools and infrequent bowel movements.  My brother likes Phillips Stool Softener, Ducolate Sodium.   Just a question. Was the benefiber helping? Benefiber is only 3 grams per dose so lots of other foods can supply that.  Nutrition label DV for fiber is 28 g. 5 prunes, dehydrated plums, has 3 grams of fiber and additionally 290 grams of potassium. Potassium is good for IBS-C because it prommotes muscle contractions in the intestines.  Low potassium contributes to constipation and bloating.  Most of us don't eat the RDA for potassium (2600 women, 3400 men) and the DV (Daily Value used on nutrition labels) is 4700 mg a day for men, women and children. When I complained of constipation due to my BP meds my doctor recommened prune juice without hesitation,  When I bother to eat Prunes or plums it works.   I think the fruit is better for you than the juice for addition nutrients.
