I love fruit but I have to blend it up now because I can't digest them anymore. I do love Greek salad as well and don't have too much trouble as long as it is only a few bites. I can't digest fiber either so I have started adding flax oil. spiralused courgettes ? I need to google that
I stopped all artificial sweeteners because of the same reason . Sounds like we might be chemical twins. Lol
I stopped taking laxatives all together because just like my food they were unpredictably digested and would just sit in my stomach and cause me to look like a can of busted biscuits .
I am drinking about an ounce of flax oil a day . I hear it is good for women in general.
Anaelena it is so good to hear that someone else is so similar to me!! Your description of the laxatives and busted biscuits is absolutely identical to how I was...
We could be chemical twins. So true, its unbelievable. Although I can currently eat the fruit with a little apple and mango juice it was only a couple nights ago I googled to find out what to do if SCT gets worse and I had concluded I would blend the fruit.
It is very, very hard to manage and I don't think people truly really appreciate how hard it can be to try and find foods that will digest and without chemicals either.
I was taken to the Ritz in London for a surprise dinner a couple weeks ago. It was wonderful but my friend had to ask me whether it was going to have food that I could eat.. And I had to google the menu's etc first and take my flax and chia seeds with me and pretend that when she ate some apparatifs (can't spell) that I wasn't bothered.... Having to check everything before buying, going out for meals etc is not easy.
I was due to go and talk to the top chap in London ref my stomach and the electronic gadget but found out in time how to adjust my foods to enable stomach to keep some action.
Its tough. Even hypo stoppers now are pure sugar cubes and I used to love my sweets I had...
I was only advised about chemicals a few months ago when my Practice went thru my notes and found a note from a consultant that wan't advised to me or put on the system that he thought I was likely to have an intolerance to aspartame, sweeteners etc... This was in 2003. I was on full disability benefit a few years ago because of pain and inabilities.... So I thoroughly understand how difficult it all is-although I cannot actually give advice on the transmitter thing...
I know how tough it is and so understand how bloods can be affected etc and the busted biscuits belly!!!
