running out of food ideas....

[stef000]

I have acid reflux and IBS and a whole book full of food sensitivities and now stomach motility issues and of course IC
So if a food doesn't bug one of my problems it bugs the other...:bonk:
I am now on just boost which i have to make sure i have my IC prevention meds to make sure i don't flare....i can't drink any juices at all....
My digestive enzymes don't work anymore and my ginger pills(which were my rescue pills for nausea) don't work anymore either....
I am sorry i am sorta all over the place in this message but i am just confused and overwhelmed and i don't want to deal with any more docs or any more issues but it seems i have to....
I just don't know where to start or finish or whatever....:rant::bonk:
any ideas will be appreciated....:bow:
i hope all are having a good day
take care
hugs n better body days...
:hi:

It sounds like you need to be talking with your doctor about diet.

I agree with Donna - definitely a chat with the doc, maybe he/she can get you into a nutritionist who can work with you every step of the way! ;)

Yeah well i need to get my stomach checked out and hopefully get something done with it and go from there.....
You know how docs can be though....:bonk::loco:
Sometimes they talk to me like i don't know what i am talking about....:mad:
But i am struggling along and hopefully get to see a gastro and go from there and hopefully get some hope for foods or something....
Just figured to ask in here in case anyone had anything new or something...
Just all overwhelmed and frustrated and tired of it all....:toilet::bonk:
Just some days it gets to me ya know??? all the thinking we have to do---like where are the washrooms and what to eat and what to drink :tsk:
and making sure i have enough 'rescue' pills to get me home in case of a flare of either stomach, bladder, intestines or uterine.....god help me if all of them flare up at the same time...:cussing:
anyway thank you for taking the time to read this...
just having one of those days where i am letting it get to me....
i know i will get sorted out even though i have to wait 3 weeks to see my general doc but don't get me started on that...:tsk: HA
anyway thank you ladies....
take great care
hugs n better body days

Oh believe me - I know where you are coming from! Back in 2005 I dealt with bout of colitis (not UC though), and it seems I just couldn't win on what to eat, what not to eat. Ugh. It all ran through me anyway, lol. I went from 135 to 112 in the span of a couple weeks or so, bleck!!!

Maybe you could call your general doc's office and they can refer you to a nutritionist without having to go through an appt with them etc. All the nutritionists I know are great!! ;) JulieB here is one - maybe she could steer you in the right direction to finding one that can work with you or what you should look for etc! I know the one I deal with at my mom's dialysis unit is lovely! :)

Oh, I see you have kitties! I am a cat fanatic myself, right now just have my old girl Missy - erm, I guess I should say "The Princess", lol!!!!!

Wish I could be of more help, I do have a list of ideas, but I am not sure what you could use or not, depending on the tummy vs. bladder issues, lol. How do you do with Sweet Potatoes?? I love them and so did my bladder and innards, lol. I know you can't make a diet out of them, but they are good for you at least, lol. ;)

Yeah its so hard to know what to do with this disease and other stuff...
i have always dealt with food sensitivities( and ibs stuff) and then an ulcer and acid reflux ever since....its bad enough dealing with all that...:bonk:
and now i gotta deal with stuff that hurts my bladder...:rant::bonk:
But fortunately the stuff that effects my stomach and bladder sorta overlap but the real problem is that my stomach does not want to digest food it seems...
:loco:
I am just so frustrated and confused and i know i need to see a gastro but i always gotta prove to my doc that i do really need to see someone and all this and now hes booked 3 weeks in advance and i am one small step away from a feeding tube and i am just sick of it all you know...sometimes it just gets to ya.....:mad::bonk:
I was at a point where i didn't need to see docs so much and i was glad...i was in control of my health and now all hell broke loose and i gotta see someone for more options and i hate how i have to rely on docs for help but i need to see someone to go through options and figure out which one is good and all that with my stomach and now i am babbling and ranting about stuff that has nothing to do with anything...:rant::loco:
i am sorry....
it just gets to me sometimes....
i hope everyone is having a good day...
take great care
hugs n better body days
