Night Shift

hi @Former-Member did I get it right that you are actually in hospital at the moment?

@appleblossom

I'm not in hospital yet, I will be going in Monday.

Funny you ask @Former-Member. yes i do suffer from fructose malabsorption, lactose intolerant and anemia. I also suffer from high blood pressure (tonight it's 180/95) just rang doctor who said if not better to go in tomorrow to see him. I tend to get a lot of stomach pain especially when upset and when i eat the wrong foods. apples, pears, juice, onion, garlic are the horrible ones that give me grief. still trying to work it all out.

i am all rugged up. what are you doing to help heal your gut?

I absolutely loved the big fat greek wedding no 1 and 2, the movies, I mean.

You have 4 kids, am I correct? xo

@Former-Member .... pseudo-Greek ..... married into the chaos of a Greek-Australian family 😊 .... and very glad to have done so ..... despite the ... well ... chaos ❣

5 kids .... twins in there .... 1 with special needs .... 1 DIL (has bipolar) .... soon to have a SIL .... oh and a dog on rocket fuel ....

Eating disordered hubby who is blissfully unaware that this is a problem .... masking something else mi underlying that is as yet unidentified ....

Chaos.

Lovely to meet you .... 😏

Hi all. Too many here to tag right now.😊

I have some response I need to make but wanted to say hi first

currently 7.3 degrees here so another chilly one.

Went to see my boys play footy today and it turned out to be a good day and not so long as one of them dropped himself down a grade. He had the biggest smile at the end of the game as he had a good game which made my day 😄

@Former-Member I hope it is a good hospital with a good treating team. We cant take those things for granted.

@BlueBay Its good the healing the gut issue came up.

I have started to look into it slowly .. mainly cos my son's gut is senstivie, my brother has bowel cancer. My problem is that I have a cast iron get ... and have shoved anything in it ... yet have been sick twice in the last few years so ... I guess it is really organic tissue and softening up.

its probably related to being forced to eat my vomit .. so I disowned my own taste buds ... I was really annoyed as I smelt that the pastry I ate a couple of weeks ago was off and yet I still forced myself to eat it ... so hard to stop old habits ... I tried to be very careful with foods I gave to my kids ... high on nutrition .. low on being processed ... taste came last .. but gradually am getting to be a reasonable cook.

Went to an integrative psychiatrist who gave me handouts about gut health ... I was already most of the way there ... I just brought back fermented foods that had been in my diet in the past and I had dropped cos of placating my son's food habits ... now trying to get him to build up his positive biome.

Thought this was lovely when I found it ,... another sample of the paper quilling craftwork. It's mor abstract, this one, but it reminds me of an ocean wave.

@appleblossom

I hope it is good too.

I just not sure if its going to make me feel worse or better- I know I should have a postive attitude but my concern is having too much time on my hands in there and not having enough structure.
