I went to the gastrointrologist and told her everything. including the purging problem. I told her how often i purge and also that the symptoms were wth me before my ED. I had these since i was 16. Well she said i have Irrititable bowl syndrome. And now i have another pill to take. I have been put on protonix. Yay. So now im on a diet plan to get my bowls working and put on medimucil. you know the icky orange tasting powder stuff that u put in ur water and drink it down really fast before it hardens. yeah. that stuff. So more stuff in my system to make me fat.

Oh i found out today to i have high blood pressure. 120/100 was the first reading and the second was 120/90. So salt restricted diet also. GOOD BYE MCDONALDS, BURGERKING, TACOBELL, PIZZA HUT, CHINABUFFET, and GOODBYE SODAPOP.

Poor me, no more mountain dew.. How am i gonna survive.

man im going to have major headache and withdrawls from no caffine.. oh well. just wanted to share whats i found out.

you have to wean off caffeine.. unless they gave you meds to counter the withdrawal.. I mean, IT'S A DRUG!!! But I'm glad to hear you are going to begin eating right. The garbage those fast food places serve will kill the whole human race, imo. I can't eat any of it, as there's no fat buffers in my intestines, and when that stuff hits, it's instant distress and rejection! (I eat lots of clean salads that keep my insides clean from fat.)

Good wishes... it is a good thing. though the going might not feel like it at first!

Hey BD, I'm glad you got your dx. My doctor told me I had IBS for a long time. Would be out some place and I could feel my stomach start the rolling and I knew what was coming next. But now after my colonoscopy found out I have Diverticulosis. What kind of diet did she put you on, High Fiber? If you don't like the medimucil ask the doc if you can switch to Benefiber. It has no taste and completely dissolves. You can even put it in yogurt.

I still eat McDonalds and ppl there think I'm strange when I order a Big Mac on regular bun since I can't have the seeds. I just have to be careful and count my fiber. Is hard to get the amount of fiber your suppose to when you don't eat that much to start with. Seems everything has to be high fiber. Good Luck I understand completely.

Oatmeal is good fiber.. excellent in fact. I have to keep my fiber intake up because of the narcotic I take... but a daily salad and lots of water works for me pretty well...

No more Mountain Dew? OMG! I would definitely die! That's like 90% of my intake! Yeah, I'm a Dewaholic! I'm glad you found out what's been going on with you, though. Keep your chin up, you can do this diet thing!
