Food or Foe

Food! Delicious succulent fruit, tantalizing sesame chicken, and crunch-tastic veggies. Chocolate chunk icecream with caramel topping and a warm chocolate chip cookie on the side. An ice cold Apple-beer to wash it all down. mmm

I thought I was being healthy and eating right. Substituting olive oil for butter. Cutting out fried foods.

Then why do I still curl up into a ball in agonizing pain to have only some relief with a heating pad?
IBS I was told. Irritable Bowl Syndrome means all you need some good bowl movements. Increase the fiber and continue to mind your food and the pain should stop. And thank God, this worked for some time. I found that some food still 'caused' that same pain and if I would just avoid that food, or pair it with other foods, the pain would either not come or be much more tolerable.

I'm very tired of just tolerating pain. Even the dull ache of your intestines or stomache.

.....this was written pre candida diet :) I can say now I have none of these issues! Thank God!
