Don't want to jinx it but i feel better! :)

So after over a month of being unable to eat anything but rice, crackers, eggs and potato's i now seem to be a little better..no stomach pains, and no diarrhoea and i have managed to eat some meat, drink some beer and wine and i've had some ice lollies and some veg..i am introducing things in gradually - im calling it baby food steps! i have no idea why i am feeling better - i think i can mainly attribute it to giving my stomach time to adjust again and also that had a very good happy normal weekend that made me feel great emotionally!i feel like that helped a lot! so i haven't tried all foods yet so i am still on the mend, but fingers crossed i am on the road to be back to normal!

I shall continue to take pro-biotics / yakult and will try and make sure my meals are centred around soluble fibres and try and keep the fatty foods to a minimum - providing i can eat them! i am being particularly wart of dairy and meat but im going to try more over the weekend! cross your fingers for me guys!

I also have an appointment with the specialist tomorrow - and dont know whether to go! But i suppose it would be a good idea to go and discuss what ive been through and see if i can find out whats available in china to help!

I hope everyone feels better soon and that my posts help in some small way!

Glad to hear you're feeling better,Minafox. Long may it continue. Not feeling too good myself this morning. I chanced having some onions last night. I think I'm paying for it this morning. Sitting in bed with stomach pains. That'll teach me!
