When your ibs says no thanks

From going from not having ibs to having ibs has been a struggle to find out what I can and can’t have.

Things that I have had previously to now not being able to without knowing where the bathroom is and can I get to it quickly. Some of the things that have turned out as being an issue I have been ok with changing. But some things are just hard to get rid of. It seems that ice cream is the issue of the moment which isn’t the best news. But guess it’ll have to be cut.
The gluten free foods available seem to be ok. Tried some and liked them, with others not so much. I know Ive not tried everything and am still trying things to see whether they agree or not.
I could call my bowl every name under the sun but it’s not gonna get me anywhere. When it says no thanks I’ll just have to deal with it.

    There's gluten-free pasta made by Bionaturae (potato, rice, soy) which is almost as good as regular! Way better than brown rice pasta. You can still have sweet potato fries and sweet potatoes with brown sugar and marshmallow, baked and mashed potatoes, and brown and white rice, so don't despair! Rice Krispies, Cheerios, and GF instant oatmeal are all okay for breakfast. :) gluten-free cheesecake is usually all right too. Cheesecake Factory makes Godiva GF cheesecake. Good luck!

Self care during the good and bad days

So something I've learnt over the last 6 1/2 years since being diagnosed and the death of my husband that self care really helps during the good and bad times. Over this time I have tried many things and found what does and doesn't work for me.  https://www.thebodyshop.com/en-gb/range/view-all/tea-tree-skin-clearing-facial-wash/p/p000039 This stuff has been great for my skin. I got the 400ml bottle and my goodness it is worth the money as you really don't need a lot. And then smell for me is a really calming smell which also helps.  http://uk.loccitane.com/shea-butter-hand-cream--travel-size-,83,1,29776,1030671.htm   I've tried a lot of different hand creams previously and was recommended to try them from here. To say I was impressed was an understatement. It covers so well. You really don't need a lot and it really works on dry hands.  It may seem a bit pricy to some but i think it's worth it for the way it left my hands feeling.  Carmex lip ...

Not in the best head space.

So turns out I’ve been battling a mental health episode for at least a three months if not longer and I haven’t been aware. Before anyone questions why I didn’t know what was happening it’s because I typically don’t see what’s happening until I’m at a point that someone goes “WE NEED YOU TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE” It builds up slowly and manifests to a point that I’m really in a negative head space. I’ve learnt this time and the hard way that everything that I thought was happening wasn’t. It was my anxiety and grief having a fight off and I was the looser. Not to forget the ruminations of things that might happen or I might do ( some of those thoughts are hard ) Insomnia Panic that I’m seeing things out corner of my eye that aren’t there Negative thoughts - not good enough etc  Real bouts of sadness Not really wanting to eat - snacking  Racing heart Believing things are wrong with me when they aren’t  Those are only a few of the things that I have been dealing wit...

If this week has taught me anything

If this week has taught me anything it’s that the grief monster can hit at any time and totally floor you. That three years feel like just yesterday. And that there is people around to give a hug when needed. So last night in the midst of volunteering it hit me like a ton of bricks. The tears started and it took me a long time to proper calm myself. I’d manage to tell the coach right at the start of the night that i was struggling and that it had been a hard week. That it felt like just yesterday that he’d died and not nearly three years. I’m lucky with the fact that the coach I work with also was my husbands coach so that in itself is a help. I’d managed one class and was more than half way through the second when a shot I threw was called rubbish and one look to the other lady that coaches with me and I was a mess. If I hadn’t of already been sitting on the floor I think I might of ended up there. Luckily for me she also knows my history and shouted on the main coach who got to me...
