2.19.17 // I feel terrible. Ate some brown rice fusilli pasta with tomato basil pasta sauce and less than five minutes later I'm having stabbing pains in my stomach. Wondering if it's the onion/garlic bc I've been researching the low fodmap diet and have been avoiding those two for a while now and everything else I ate was totally corn/gluten/dairy free. Gonna schedule an appointment with a GI soon and I'm hoping I can maybe get a colonoscopy or something because the last few weeks have been hell for some unknown reason and I feel almost as bad as I did a year ago when I got diagnosed. I'm constantly bloated to the point of literally looking like I'm pregnant and there are days where I'm super hydrated but still stand up and am so dizzy I have to hold onto something. I'm overall so much unhappier than I used to be because eating is such a chore and I can't enjoy the foods I used to be able to. I eat so much more healthily than anyone I know and it's so frustrating to continue to have such bad symptoms when I'm doing everything I'm supposed to. Might try and do low-fodmap for the next few weeks then start reintroducing foods to see what bothers me but it's just such a restrictive diet on top of my current restrictions that I don't see myself having the willpower to go without stuff that I eat all the time now like almond flour, cashews, apples, etc. Any suggestions appreciated.
