hey, january,

yes, i understand the "scared" stage. as a friend of mine has reminded me, some of us take meds with the belief there will be instant relief when, in reality, relief will not be found for at least a week or so. yup, the "scared" stage.

i started probiotics yesterday to help settle my stomach. so far, not much help. i have no idea what to eat. i'm on a limited diet to begin with and, i'm at a point with this diet where the cravings for the things i can't have are really strong. i settle for feeling well by trying not to give into the cravings. and, i'm pretty good. but sometimes i do cheat. and, i pay the price. i wish that i could tolerate healthy foods but they are high in fiber and that creates problems. hopefully, the probiotic will kick in soon.

i hope you continue to feel better.
