Bizi,

Call your doctor early Thursday morning.

Try to get in for an examination Thursday or Friday (before the weekend).

I think it is gas.
I have been eating all of the wrong foods:
dairy
apples
pears
brocolli
califlower
sugar
lentils
beans
but this is my normal diet!
I will go to a walk in clinic if it gets worse.
jeff thinks I should see someone in a couple of days if not better. that falls on the weekend.
thanks mari.:o
I took fennel and 2 gas ex

Bizi,

(Cumin helps digestion too sometimes.)

Take a break from the beans and such for three days and see if it makes any difference.
Maybe the diet is not the issue.

I hope that you get better.

I wonder if they can do an ultra sound at a walk in clinic? I should call.

Bizi:

Beans are like the number one thing you need to avoid right now, and eggs are right up there. Just forget these foods until you feel much better OR have ruled out the gas hypothesis. Do not eat any beans/legumes or eggs. That includes peanuts which are legumes not nuts, and peanut butter.

Bad idea foods -- short list:

Beans/legumes -- (big no-no!)

Eggs (also big no-no!)

Milk, although yogurt does not cause as much of a problem.

Cruciferous vegetables -- broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and its relatives

Mushrooms -- these were on Mari's list; I forgot about them... they are least as bad as broccoli.

The problem isn't all about fermentation. Yes, that can cause some gas: yeasts digest the sugars and release carbon dioxide gas. But eggs and cruciferous vegs, for instance contain sulfurous compounds which break down during digestion, not by fermentation, to produce hydrogen sulfide gas. That might be the thing with mushrooms too (not sure).

==========

It concerns me a little, Bizi, that you've had this pain for several days now, despite eating the same things you usually eat.

I'd say go to the clinic for a consultation, but I would not (personally) ask for an ultrasound - if they think there could be a different problem, they will request one... or you can at that point request one depending what they say.

I skipped the half and half this mornings coffee.
Had strawberries and blueberries and lactose free blueberry yogurt, did not eat the sugary blueberries on the bottom of the cup.
had chicken squash beets and collards for lunch today.
then for dinner had chicken with a little bit of cream cheese and bacon. baked, hardly ever eat bacon! more strawberries and blueberries. We had steamed califlower,,,i know, on the bad list but it was raw and needed to be eaten. Jeff was cooking and he steamed it to very tender consistency I did not eat that much of it. ....:o
My stomach feels better over all.
I might have strained too hard while trying to have a bm...that could be part of the problem. It is not as tender so maybe this will just go away.
I sure hope so. still taking the fennel 3 capsules twice a day. and taking gas ex at night.
I am not as bloated tonight and my thigh feels better.
I was going to go to the gym but took a nap instead. Sort of afraid to go as I will try to jog again now that it has been 3 + weeks.
Did a modified pigeon stretch tonight. no pain!!!!!:)
I really need to do some paperwork, need to make a deposit. Maybe I can get up early tomorrow and make one.

I have a whole bowl full of organic apples and pears....sigh

Glad its better Bizi.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

Back down to 139.5 this morning.
Took me a whole month to back here after an 8 day mod/dd alcohol lapse.
Not drinking is truly the only way for me to lose weight.

Real portrayal of war.
Am working today then going to a blueberry festival at 6 pm.
heading for my second cup of coffee.

Biz,

Glad that you are doing better.

I love Bradley Cooper despite his acting abilities.
I hope he finds a director who can help bring out his talents.
