How did you get on jeeps?

Jeepers:
Hi all

thanks for your replies :-)

Well, yesterday was just an initial consultation, so I didn't actually do any hypnotherapy.  The lady was lovely, and took a lot of time to explain all the
different parts of the brain and how they interact. I did get quite emotional at one point, felt so silly. Anyway, I have decided that I will give it a go, I really hope it works as it is quite expensive. £60 per
session and usually between 8 - 12 sessions are needed!

I'll post how things go, in case it helps anyone else.

Yesterday was a good day, as I didn't have any wind! Of course it may be a hiatus, but the thing that was different was that I didn't have my usual oatibix,
I have been having that most mornings, and I eat other oat products.  so maybe I have built up an intolerance to it.  This morning I have had cornflakes and a
banana.  Unfortunately today, my stomach is creaking and gurgling sooo much, both before my brekkie (I though it was hunger doing it), and after, and is still doing it now.  Its very embarrassing as
I am in the office.

So, I feel like I just swap one thing for another. And I was so elated last night to get through the day with no digestive issues.  :'(

Does anyone else have a VERY noisy stomach? 

With love

Hi all

I just wanted to update this thread, as it may help someone else who has worrying digestive issues. 

It looks like I have found the root of my problems... OATS!  Since I started my most recent job, I have been eating Oatibix every morning.  This week my bf suggested I stop eating them, as he has a problem with oats already.  Oh, my, what a difference, I can;t believe it.  My toilet habits are back to normal after only 4 days. I tried switching to oaty biscuits first, but this also caused problems.

I was so skeptical, as I have always eaten porridge, oaty biscuits etc with no problem, but I guess these things can happen at any time. 

I'm a bit gutted (no pun intended) , but I thought I'd leave it a couple of weeks, and then see if I can eat some porridge, but not overdo it.

I don't regret the colonoscopy though, as having the reassurance is nice, especially when HA takes me hostage.

Thank you all for taking the time to post

Love to you all

Jeeps. What a breakthrough!!
So glad you have had such improvement even if it means you wont be "getting your oats" :)
Thanks for the update.     Xxxxx

Jeepers, I can't say anything helpful but a close friend of ours had a colonoscopy in May and complained about how much wind was produced and passed. This went on for quite a while, settled now thankfully and no baddies to blame for the blood she lost before the procedure. The outcome is diverticulitis (sp?) she has to take a probiotic daily, eat more fruit and veg, and less cheese and chocolate!

quote I was so skeptical, as I have always eaten porridge, oaty biscuits etc with no problem, but I guess these things can happen at any time.  Yes, we seem to have changes we thought would never happen with the dreaded menpoause. I have had hayfever this summer and that's a first, so annoying and another pill to take! At least we can get rid of these new problems.
Hope you're feeling brighter, have a lovely weekend.
