I'm glad I'm posting here about my gastrointestinal issues. I see that they've been going on for a while now, and they are getting worse. That's not exactly a good thing, but it is indicating that I've got some sort of chronic issue. Considering that I've completely fallen off the "healthy eating" bandwagon, I am not surprised. My current diet ( Read more... )

Seems you lack fibers. Try some wheat bran, you can get it at any health food store. Or "siliceous earth" - a drugstore *might* have it. No joke, this. It's mineral, but can really help. Only a spoonful after meals. Did wonders for dad. Only: He later got diagnosed with some slightly more serious colon problem - maybe a checkup would be in order...? (They took 30cm out, and he's doing perfectly fine, now!)

That dream seems to indicate that your dad's condition is pretty stressful as well... That, or you having to identify/take over the role of your mom...

I really can't begin to imagine how difficult this is. But dreaming about the situation can only do you good, really :-).

I'm starting to suspect some mild food poisoning. I think I eat my beef too undercooked (but I *like* it that way!). I don't know that fiber is the problem - I ate a bowl or 2 of oatmeal 2 days ago for brunch and then spaghetti for dinner, and things didn't start feeling normal until after I ate a bananna. *shrug*

I'm due for that lovely procedure soon enough (colonoscopy is one of those fun things to look forward to when you turn 50, apparently).

So they say, yeah... I'm not looking forward to it, in fact ;-).

But dad found it no big deal, so... Good luck!
