A short complaint about my health issue
In the scheme of things the trouble I am going through does not rate very
high considering what some other people (some who post here) are going through but I started passing a little blood and the doctor sent me some augmentin and all I can think of is I would kill to be able to pig out on MacDonalds or Chinese or junk food or some of my own something. I am starting to dream about food! I am about to perform a bowel resection on myself at this point. So I am mostly comfortable and I should be ashamed to complain about such a minor thing but I AM HUNGRY! I WANT SOME JUNK FOOD!! WAAAHHHHHHH! sniff sniff......stupid colon.. Ok, I am done. |

Oooh, I'm sorry. I'd offer you cyber junk food, but that wouldn't do you a whole lot of good. It ain't McDonald's (or any other junk food), but I've found that when I really have a 'hankerin' for something that isn't in my best interests, some chicken broth seems to help that. Not sure why it does that for me, but a hot cup of broth always seems to "hit that spot". Smokie Darling (Annie) - and no, I do not think chicken broth is an equal to junk food, particularly during a crave. |

A short complaint about my health issue
I can go along and eat right for a long time but then, the CRAVE hits and I
HAVE to HAVE McDonalds greasy .99 double cheeseburgers, at least two and sometimes three. If I knew I were going to die tomorrow, I would want four of them, a couple of Mike's hard lemonades and a whole box of GOOD salt water taffy. Purrs for your craving to go away. If one person tells you to drink warm water, I will scream for you. Wishing you all the best. "Smokie Darling (Annie)" wrote in message ...

Hey, you'll get no negative comments from me about your need to rant and complain. If I couldn't eat what I wanted, I would be upset, too. It really doesn't matter who has it worse, because no matter what anyone else is going through, you're still in your own situation. lecture Comparing oneself to others, for better or worse, only makes life more difficult, IMO. If someone's better off than you are, you feel inferior or resentful. If they're worse off, you feel guilty about complaining or even about feeling bad. You just can't win. And I know of what I speak - I've spent my entire life trying to unlearn this terrible habit, which I learned from my family ("Comparisons R Us"). OK, I'm done, too. /lecture And I hope you get better soon and can eat good food again! -- Joyce ^..^ (To email me, remove the X's from my user name.) |

Since I've had gastrointestinal problems off and on for years, I thoroughly sympathize and understand. There's nothing to make you want something like knowing you can't have it. Joy |

I know the feeling. I am jonesin' for a bowl of really spicy chili! This low-residue diet makes me feel like I'm still hungry even though I'm not, too. Jill |

Smokie Darling (Annie) - and no, I do not think chicken broth is an equal to junk food, particularly during a crave. I do enjoy my broth with a bit of rice in it (and maybe a cut up mushroom) but it gets old. I am almost sure my condition is improving and the blood thing is some kind of quirk but I agree the anti-biotics are not a bad idea. I will have a better idea afte the next cat scan. I can start eating what I want as soon as I am sure I have good motion and that does seem to be happening the last few days. |

I can't diagnose you. Your doc gave you an antibiotic, I think. I have to assume your bleeding is colonic but until your doc deals with whatever is going on there, if I were you I'd not eat anything liable to make things in any way worse....though I can sure sympathize, when something is forbidden, your mind goes into overdrive imagining it. What I would do is not what you really want.....but unless you are totally forbidden to eat *anything* what I would do is go make a big bowl of grits (u- oh, maybe New Yorkers aren't into grits, scratch that and substitute the word "mashed potatos" or "pea soup" and eat up. Nothing acidic or irritating there, I think. He's got the same thing I have (diverticulitis) or at least earlier stages of it (diverticulosis). Thanks a lot for mentioning pea soup... I love it! But dried peas, beans and lentils are on the no-no list (too high in fiber) until after my surgery. Jill |
