Granny's gone and done it again

[Granny Hatchet]

It's gone up. In 2021 my gastroenterologist wanted me to use that. It was a little over 400 with Medicare part D. I said no thank you to that one.

Got the cats fed, played with the cattle dogs...more like them competing to see who gets to sit on our laps first....let the other to dogs out and back in. I think my work is done for the day.

what are your "other"dogs?

Have you seen the new emesis basin they have at er now?

No, what is it like? They gave me a long plastic bag and I couldn't get everything in it. That was a bad idea.

??

Twelve ounces of milk with a teaspoon of unsulphered blackstrap molasses in it. It's very good.
Sometimes I'll use more molasses for a stronger flavor.

I hated linzess. Have they sent you for stomach therapy? That actually taught me some things that helped but it was too many appointments

I was prescribed linzess today and when I saw the price of it I cancelled it. Mine was a 90 day supply for $131 but not paying that for a non must have med. At least I checked the box and clicked cancel but I want know for sure it is cancelled until I call in the morning about it.

Ibs can be difficult to pin point but Drs will keep exploring as long as the insurance covers it and the patient agrees. After an anorectal manometry, I was done exploring and ready to figure out out myself (or suffer) but I also had a small stroke right before that. So sometimes even Drs just can't figure it out. I decided to try go the diet route

Both of my kids have crohns by different dads. Cancer runs strong in my family. Its been 9 years since I was last checked.

Did you tell the dr. you were feeling "off" now?

Yes.

I don't feel pukey. And if there is a call button in here, nobody has directed my attention to it!

I've got IBS. GI put me on Miralax and Fiber Con. Told me to eat as much bran as I could or high fiber.

Did well for awhile on it then started having stomach pain and cramping in my gut. Started doing an elimination diet and discovered that I wasn't tolerating the high fiber diet. Did some research. Suspect I have a sensitivity to Fructans which are high in fiber foods. I eliminated as much as I could from my diet and the pain went away. But boy, it sure lets me know about it when I try to 'cheat' a bit on my diet.

Seems like you can be Fructan sensitive without having celiac disease which I know I don't have. It's sort of an allergy.

Linzess is one of those drugs where you wish it didn't work so well.

 

[Granny Hatchet]

Yes.

I don't feel pukey. And if there is a call button in here, nobody has directed my attention to it!

what have they done for you so far?

I wanted to worm my lavender babies before they start laying, was going to do it tonight . Found a stray egg in the run this morning. They are just about 12 weeks old, aren't they too young?

to be wormed? They are right on the line of being ready and too young. I would wait another 2 weeks to be safe
