Sigh its been a while. This last week becasue I feel like crap. On the upside, problems that I thought might derail my trip to Wiscon have been solved so as long as the antibiotics I need get ordered and work I should be good.

I have no idea how to cut for gross so just stop reading now if medical stuff ooks you.





I get this thing called Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) it sucks my body apparently abandons all hope of digesting food and just sends it straight on through so to speak. Especially hmm anything I really like to eat and all vegetables. Even when I don't have the SIBO, the list of foods that my body tolerates is shrinking. For the last week I am living pretty much on grilled salmon and yogurt...well I try to eat other things but well...so far no good. The worst is that at the moment the SIBO is at its alltime high...Bathroom time is every 2 to 3 hours and if I eat anything I feel all bloated and gassy and get stomach cramps.

Can I just say from my reading it sounds like the dumping thing that WLS patients get...certainly has convinced me for the millionth time that WLS is NOT for me.

The other capper is that I am supposed to take a diuretic every day, I just can't do it at the moment so I worry about that. Hopefully my doc will get the prescription sent in because it is such an easy fix - 10 days of a certain antibiotic and presto a month or two of relative peace.
