Default Thanks!

I believe this theory is one of the closest to finding a cure - at least in my case.

I have had intestinal problems for my entire life. If it isn't constipation, it's diarrhea or stomach pain.

And another point about why I ascribe to this wave of thinking is this. What I eat (or don't eat) makes all ther difference in the world in the efficacy of my medication regime.

For example, I don't eat enough protein, but if I gulp down even a "small" steak (less than 5 oz), I am sure to have a horrible "off" period either the day of ingestion or the next day. Milk products similarly affect my mobility. Most of the time I am craving sweet things. But sweets can also make my meds less effective.

When others say "it's all in your head," I reply "Yes, and my gut, too!"
