This is getting ridiculous for me... so I'm considering just doing a liquid diet to see if there is any improvement.  I have optifast in my pantry but not keen on it because it has aspartame in it.  I'm sitting here with bladder spasms today too  (don't have artificial sweeteners usually because of that).  But I'm thinking I may have to resort to using that and monitoring.  But eating is basically causing me a lot of pain no matter what I eat.  It feels like I have too much air trapped in my oesophagus and the food is in competition with it trying to get down (my best description with what is probably happening).  I also need to lose weight from the sudden gain I've had from increasing baclofen. Has anyone had a lot of success with a liquid diet for digestive issues?  Eg. have you had really good BGL control on it with insulin?</blockquote>
