Ok so I have just eaten my last VSL #3 sachet. I am also near the end of my second Endep course. I am still pretty close to following the FODMAP diet. Kind of have become lazy in taking Vitamin D everyday. I know, not wise, but I'm just getting sick of it all. Still drink Sustegen everyday. Trying to keep the exercise up, but don't usually during menstruation because of cramping. Stopped seeing the psychologist. I do not believe that it was really helping. Started to paint, write and sketch, and still from time to time play the piano.
Here are the current symptoms:
- I still have pain every morning and night. More so at night.
- I still have excess flatulence which at times is intolerable and embarrassing.
- My symptoms worsen during menstruation. Ahh the joys of womanhood. I have discovered that Ibuprofen 200 mg seems to work better than Panadol because it also assist with inflammation.
- I have gained a few kilos which is excellent, but must gain at least 4-5 more kilos. Believe it or not but this is very hard to achieve when you are not allowed to eat junk, on a limited diet and experience pain everyday.
- Still have a little nausea every morning and other times but it is tolerable.
Next action plan:
I no longer want to take Endep. Not exactly sure if it is helping in any way so will see how I go without taking it for a few weeks.
I have started to drink Aloe Vera juice. 40ml every morning before breakfast. It is recommended 40ml twice a day but I want to ease into it.
I might even try homeopathy.
