Suzy, its not so much the peeing that bothers me its just the stomach pains :( i'll have a look fir that sweetner you mantioned.
Daz, ive been to the doc countless times about it and nothing gets done, they feel my tummy someimes but thats always the time when im in no pain or bloating so they say they cant feel anything wrong. Ive put up with it for 11 years. I often thought it might be IBS but as im not allowed to eliminate foods from my diet to find out i have to be miserable. When i try and change some foods especially bread my family think its my eating disorder and that im trying to get out of eating, its very hard , my diet is very rigid, i have jordans natural muesli at breakfast (used to have All Bran but that got stopped as there wasnt enough caloriess in it :( For lunch i havr a granary bread sandwich with wafer thin chicken, sometimes plain tuna in brine instead. Tea differs every night but there is a limit i am prepared tae eat. Last night was chicken in a tomato sauce with potatoes. and supper is my nightmare as its so much but its granary toast and cheese, a low fat yogurt and an Ensure. Its alot for my tummy but i was dangerously thin aagain and have to eat this to gain weight otherwise i will end up in the psychiatric unit at Ninewells and i am not missing out on any more of Jazzys life. And for drinks apart from the one ensure i drink black coffee with sweetner, diet irn bru, diet coke occasionally and flavoured water, sometimes sugar free diluting juice and sugar free chewing gum every day. i also smoke aboot between 3 and 10 a day, just depends. Apart from the Ensure, the drinks and chewie are in my control and my choice so i could change that to something else, but i am convinced its IBS, just think the docs dont take me seriously as im there at least once a week, esp recently. And i know you are not an expert but you do know and help alot xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
