patience and diligence

Post by Gabes-Apg »

have just realised that patience and diligence is just as important as diet in the Demon :bandevil: management plan

After 4 + weeks of eating the same ingredients and meals (plus retraining my mind that it is not bland) only using a small amount of meds
- Cholestyramine 2 - 3g every 3rd night
- used 1 tablet of loperamide on two occaisions in the past week (interview day and last friday night)

I have had 2 days of what i would call close to normal BM's.
:poopbanana:

i still have a little bit of bubbly bum.... normally in the afternoon
cramping and discomfort has been gradually decreasing over the past 2 weeks.


In the beginning i had been trying one new ingredient each weekend, but got the feeling this was setting me backwards. Havent tried a new ingredient for 9 days.

Dont worry - i am not going to let the excitement take over and try new ingredients. I am going to stick to this for another 4 weeks at least and the let the healing process continue
:australianflag:

Body is definately happiest if I have at least 8 - 9 hours sleep a night
(nanna naps on the weekend also help)
i have my main meal at lunchtime and have a light meal as my dinner
I have been doing yoga stretches and relaxation first up in the morning, this has helped BM timings so that the BM happens before i get ready for work.


Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them - every day begin the task anew.

Great news!

:thumbsup:

After your gut has had a chance to heal for a while, if a new ingredient doesn't agree with you, you should be able to recover faster.

Gabes,

Baby steps are best sometimes. So happy that things are looking up for you and that you are sticking to it. Better times are in your future.

Love, Maggie
