Cheri:

Sure sounds like my problem but boy hope not... doesn't sound good. Actually I tease some of my friends that although I'm crampy and gassy I can't fart. I've lost my ability to fart (or maybe its fear that keeps me from farting - fear that something will slip out! ). My stomach just hurts all the time and I've lost my true love for food (maybe not a bad thing) as after I eat, I get sick and have to use the restroom so better just not to eat.

I'm trying something different right now. A reverse diet. I'm eating dinner in the morning (this am a chicken breast, some brocolli and alittle rice), lunch is lunch and then just cereal, toast or fruit as my evening meal. It did appear to help me this morning as I didn't wake up having to use the bathroom. Still crampy but not so bad. I just started this week so I'll see how it goes.

Still appreciate what everyone has to say. Makes me feel alittle better.
