Refining Our Diet
I went to see my doctor for some mysterious pains happening the past few months. Along with the severe PMS questions. I would wake up at 5am with a very bad pain in my stomach. I tried to deduce the causes. What were my habits lately? A glass of wine with dinner? No, not every time. Am I going through some major stress? Possibly. Home-made London style fish and chips? Yes, every time. The doctor is running tests for a possible Gall bladder/Gall stone problem found common in slightly over-weight women, with multiple children and who eat greasy, fun, fried foods. My blood work is normal. The ultra-sound for my abdomen is coming soon. So, I may need to have my gall bladder removed. Well, they say, you don't use it anymore that much anyway. My husband and I had to change our diet in the past due to high cholesterol, high blood pressure. . We lived on grilled fish and chicken, vegetables and rice dishes for a very long time. It was lovely. I think we were happier. We just might need to cut out the delivery pepperoni pizza, the fun, home-made "London style fish and chips" and the home-made chicken nuggets. We thought we were being smart by frying in canola oil. That just may not be the only case. We are finding ourselves having to refine our diets, even further. Maybe a change in our diet will also help with the PMS as well. I guess, to remedy all of these other complications we are going to have to explore new ways of cooking and make a new menu as a family. Like this is a revelation. No, but a light at the end of this little tunnel. It'll be fun. 4 comments from 4 users

It very well could be your gall bladder. I had it taken out about 8 years ago and never missed it. It can be pretty nasty when it isn't working right. I hope you get to the bottom of it!

My mom the dietician swears that diet helps with PMS, especially healthy leafy greens, etc. I adamantly disagree, arguing that if my body wants chocolate and hamburgers, it CAN'T be wrong. :)

Thanks for the gentle guidence and support. I just went to the barnes and noble and found "The Calming Technique". It also said a lot of 'calming' would be helped with diet.
