I did find that if DH rubbed from my belly button downwards it would shift things.  We could see the wind moving  …….  .  It didn't matter when I ate though; little and often or hardly at all.

That's strangely romantic! 

[CLKD]

Yep  ………. it gave us a giggle too as we watched the wind moving around  .

[purplenanny]

Well done Dyan!
Really pleased it was ok for you
Enjoy the pampering while it lasts
Love and hugs
PN x x

Glad everything went ok Dyan. You were very brave. I would need a sedative to get me to the hospital.

[CLKD]

So would I for that type of procedure 

[Dyan]

  PN & Littleminnie.
I was very nervous leading up to it but tried to calm myself with breathing.
Once I'd had the sedative I didn't know anything until they were taking the camera out and I was too chilled to panic.

[Dyan]

Prajna- the only thing the consultant told me was to avoid too much fatty food which I do anyway.
I tend to eat little & often throughout the day and have a meal in the evening which I have now cut down as I was finding my portions creeping up

I read that wheat bran should be avoided if you have a slow digestive tract as this bulks your stomach so that the other food cannot pass through quickly enough.
I have stopped eating bread for one and now have Ryvitas which are ok because they are rye and breakfast cereals containing wheat bran , weetabix, all bran, bran flakes for porridge,as oats are better for your digestive system.....apparently.

[CLKD]

Oats have been used North of the Border for years 
DH eats a bowl of porridge with home grown soft fruits every morning for breakfast - slow release foods help keep energy levels even - apparently 
Wouldn't touch Weetabix, bran etc..
I have had background heartburn intermittently all week but it's probably due to The Germ
Also I find too much butter can cause heartburn ….. could it be the oil in it?
Ryvitas    ….. didn't know they were still available 
Spelt is probably more digestible?

How have you been Dyan since the procedure 

[toffeecushion]

I had a day without heartburn but it came back yesterday.  I have been trying to remember what I ate to see if there is a trigger food for me. Have any of you noticed a trigger food?

[toffeecushion]

Not sure.  I thought it may have bern my iron tablets but didn't have one yesterday.   I did have a horlicks in bed last night, but am usually fine with that.

[toffeecushion]

My cycle is all over the place.  I have bleeding for 5 weeks out of the last 6, which is why I need the iron tablets.  It's so hard not knowing what is causing it.

[Claireylou]

I agree about the frustration. Something that might set it off last week will be absolutely fine for me this week. I love horlicks but it sets me off big time. Too scared to eat anything these days. You have my sympathies 

[CLKD]

Stop bending and use your knees!

[CLKD]

  ……… and why, in the dishwasher, is the salt container almost at the back of the machine  ……

I try to take my crocks on a tray to the machine, bend down and load.  Try to remember to bend before taking crocks out ….

No problems today - yet ………
