Got word last night that the SIL was going back to the hospital with breathing issues and blood in the lungs. Probably back into ICU. No word this morning.

Meanwhile, I have ordered two books from amazon for heart healthy recipes and foods he can eat once they do release him. I still feel like a deer in headlights, though.

Gracie, I was reading this article and started thinking about your hubby and was wondering if you might find the article helpful in one or more ways. I learned a few things.

Others here might find the article informative as well. Hugs!

All caught up!
It's been warmer these past two days, up in the double-digit teens! Considering how cold it's been the past month, this is a pleasant change. Of course, when it warms up we get snow, a couple of inches last night.
I hope this day finds all ya'll doing well, warm & happy.

Not really, we’ve had a cold spell over here, I’ve actually been wearing my long sleeved T-shirts under my sweat shirts at work again.

Here, as well. Dark, cold and rainy without a break.

Bobbie Brown was on British TV this morning. Talking about her change of direction. Which is, what you put in your body, and not on it. Tumeric cropped up, and although I've heard so much about it, inflamation fighter etc., I just can't get it down me, I hate the taste. Same with sauerkraut. And I've really tried.

You could always try sprinkling a bit of turmeric in whatever recipe you're making in order to hide the taste...…..if you don't mind the main food turning yellow

This week as been a dousy with tummy troubles that I won't put into detail other than bad cramping that I almost took myself to urgent care. Thankfully it's subsided, for the time being, but has given me good reason to change my mind about that colonoscopy. I'll be calling first thing in the morning to make that appointment. Unfortunately, I'll probably be all better by then. It's also put my own food choices under the spotlight and how I need to make some serious changes and stick with it.

 

[Foxfyre]

Sounds like a good check up is in order. I used to be able to eat literally anything without noticeable repercussions, but now not so much.

I was going to bring that up, I've seen turmeric pills available on amazon. I don't know if they work as well as taking the powder directly, but you wouldn't have to taste it.

Since this has been going on since Sunday, I'm thinking more of stomach flu but I really don't know. It usually takes a couple weeks to get into the DR and by then it would be gone. I did contact their office about the colonoscopy and was referred to a local Digestive Care Center to set up the appointment for the procedure. When I called them, they hadn't received the referral yet, so I have to wait till next week to make the appointment.

In the meantime, I am drinking my kefir and being careful of what I do eat. If this is just the flu, atleast it's giving me the kick in the pants I needed to change my diet and get the dreaded appointment.

Thank you. Yes I've heard of the BRAT diet with tummy troubles. Earlier today I tried the banana and within 10 minutes started cramping. Too soon to be the cause, but I waited a couple of hours till the cramping went away before having a dinner roll (didn't have any regular bread for toast) and didn't have a problem after that. I haven't been vomiting or even feeling queasy, just hard cramping and diarrhea.


Strangely, last night I made Fajitas for supper, then Lemon Pepper Chicken tonight cause they just sounded good and haven't had a problem from either meal. Talk about doing things the wrong way or backwards. I'll see how things go by tomorrow and if I'm still cramping, rice it is.

If you have a colonoscopy...don't do the twilight. Some folks it doesn't work on and if you wake up while that tube is up there..its gonna HURT!!! Also..the prep sucks. However, the nurse told me that if you have th emoney, you don't half to drink that gallon of crappy stuff. There is another drink you can do that is 8 oz and easier to get down.

I love bananas...but they give me fierce heartburn.

I'm sure that no matter what happens, I'm not going to like it one bit.....and why I've put off having it done already.

I love bananas too and have not had a problem before. Cucumbers OTOH, I do love them, but they don't love me anymore.
