Well, I have been having tummy problems that have been getting worse and worse. Kinda came to a head over the last couple of weeks. So had to finally go to the doctor. Not sure of the exact diagnosis, yet...still working on that.

But I was told:
No coffee or tea (this is going to be hard to do)

No alcohol (bye-bye wine and margaritas)

Nothing fatty
Nothing spicy (I like flavor)
Numerous small meals (this is okay)

so I asked the doctor: "if it tastes good I can't have it"....doctor's answer: "Yep".

Oh, and we discussed a it regarding "winter blues". she also has this and she says exercise, exercise, exercise.

I guess I am going to be forced into losing weight aren't I? Have to eat healthy and exercise....

Okay, so here is night #1.

LOL...sorry. Now my curiosity is up...I got to go find it.

I actually had an appt set up to establish care with a provider set for Tuesday...but I could not handle the pain/burning/ache anymore and was have some black BM (found out that this was because of the pepto Bismol I have been drinking (lots)). So, we did a bunch of blood work. The walk in doc asked a bunch of questions...I have actually done a bunch of my own "researching" and knew something was up. We are still doing the work up. At this time we are ruling out Irritable bowel and H-pylori. She gave me some meds to help my tummy to quit hurting and told me to start eating as described above. I am having some heart burn. The blood work should be back for my set appt...I had planned on asking my new PCP (primary care provider) regarding the tummy aches I have been having. I have also taken a lot of Ibuprofen in my lifetime - that is out. No more.

STOP taking all NSAIDs................and do not eat any wheat or MSG (the G stands for gluten, & is BIG in meats as a meat tenderizer) NO BREAD NO CRACKERS NO PASTA get gluten free for a while until you feel better!
Fair warning:: Allergies are all about proteins,,,such as wheat protien or bee venom protien or milk protein.
I find it hard to believe you would suddenly come down with Chrones or IBS......but I have seen the immunal system SUDDENLY FLIP OUT!
As explained by an allergist to me::

"The immunal system seems to tolerate ever so much, and then cannot tolerate 'it" any longer"Proteins include the big 8 allergens..
With me, it is SOY and Wheat Glutens (Barely, malt)
I eat well om alot of other grains, and do not have the aches & pains anymore unless I get some of the bad stuff.
Having Celiac Disease & eating something with wheat gluten would (at the bginning) produce alot of gut swelling, and after that I will have to discuss with you off thread,
GOOODNIGHT ALL!!!!!!!!

All NSAIDS done. Forgot to buy Tylenol tonight.
I just ate a handful of pretzels. dang.
Thank you for the info. this is not sudden...I actually have been having a bit of tummy trouble for the past year or so...kind of ignoring it and it has just got worse and finally came to a head.

But that said...we are still marking things off the list. I will talk to you later about. Good night.

I am open to all information on any possible ideas. PM me. Anyone.

Chris: I have to honestly say I have never heard the song so I can not answer this. So the answer to A is NO. and regarding B, not sure. I will go and listen. It would depend on which hotel. There is the Omak Hotel downtown (that is what it is called)...so now I just need to know what it is that you are wondering if it is "true".

LOL...sorry. Now my curiosity is up...I got to go find it.

Sorry to have piqued your curiosity. It would be "the" Omak Hotel". You can listen to them here:

(the audio is not all that hot) If I remember the lyrics right, I think they go:

Cookie jars and old guitars, a grandfather clock that hasn't struck since before the war, long before I was born.

[can't remember the next set]

Then the chorus goes:

Lights burn late at the Omak Hotel, time stands still like a snowy night
Ghosts 'round here don't haunt they smile out from dust frames, down at the Omak Hotel.

Very pretty song about your town.

Cheers,
Chris​
