I have given up trying to figure out what’s causing my stomach troubles. I will bring my food log in when I go to see the GI specialist in a few weeks, and leave it up to him. I have had at least three episodes in the past week and a half, with no obvious cause. I think, in the past few months, I’ve probably lost about a day and a half each week to stomach problems — as with headaches, unsettled feelings in the stomach are not conducive to getting anything done except reading easy fiction and playing Spider Solitaire (well actually, I guess headaches are not conducive even to those activities) — and it does get frustrating. Every time I get myself back into some kind of productive routine, my stomach acts up and things get all discombobulated again. I’m deeply thankful my problems aren’t more painful or more frequent, but… sigh.
I’m going to see two old good friends this weekend. Happy about that. Crossing fingers I don’t get more cramps while they’re here.
