I always get unwell when I eat dairy. So I assumed the lactose was the culprit.
Today as a test I drank a cup of skim milk with lactose. It’s coming up to 5 hrs. I’m no worse than I am every other day after I eat.
GI suggested I experiment to see. She suspects -as do I, it’s the fat.
My colonoscopy and endoscopy is next week, but I’ve already filled my script for questran lite for after. It.
I’m using psyillum till then to bind. Another clue was that I took a lactese tablet before eating my first crème brûlée ( at 57) and got a big bad reaction. I assumed I should have taken 2 but I’ve since learned that cream doesn’t have a high amount of lactose but it’s almost pure fat.
So I figured I’d share incase anyone else was making the same assumptions as I was.

There’s only so much time !

I’ve been diagnosed with sibo.
So I’ve been doing a low FODMAP diet with low fibre, just soluable fibre like psyillum. But I’ve seen a GI who says she thinks it’s BAM a fat malabsorption issue. So I’m also on low fat.
Feeling better but I’m on a very restricted diet. Pretty much the kind of foods you eat for a bowel prep, but less variety.
2 meals of 10 grams of fat total. And one snack is how I’m eating.
Today for our anniversary we had a meal out which I’ve eaten before successfully.
But today’s cook made it a little richer, then I went and had a scoop of matcha and black sesame ice cream because yolo…. No alcohol no coffee or anything else. Just the grilled fish, tomato caper and green olive side and a natural oyster with lemon juice.

I’m getting aquatinted with the smallest room in the house now.
Good times!

Hey!
I shower my mum who has age related dementia. There was a pale blue strongly scented soap in her shower . I’m not sure where it was squirrelled away but it’s just appeared. The name has melted off. She can’t remember what it was.
I’d love to get some if it’s not been discontinued. It’s possible that it’s old and been in storage somewhere in her house.
Any chance you might have a clue?

Edited to add my thanks for your suggestions. I found it it’s called Protec. Probably terrible for the skin!!

I really need some ideas. All I do is walk on my walking pad and watch k dramas. I used to have a full life .
Feeling a mixture of frustration and monotony,

Several times a week I have very sleepless nights.
I lay awake and before I know it it’s morning.
Last night I gently rebounded for over an hour . It was dark except for small light that glow from electrical things plugged in. I held my handle bar the whole time . Eventually it was 5:30 and the sun began to rise.
I went back to bed and slept until the sound of the rain on our tin roof woke me at 9 am, Sunday morning.
I used to worry I’d wake my husband up but the coconut oil on the springs has taken care of that.
Does anyone else do a night shift on the rebounder?

I stopped rebounding because unrelatedly I fell hard on both of my kneecaps onto concrete and fractured them . I wasn’t rebounding when it happened.

I had months off exercising.

Never went back to high impact workouts or body combat etc.

joined Latin dancing and went down that rabbit hole for a few years.

Unfortunately I slipped on water on a tiled surface and fid my knees again.

So I eventually returned to reformer Pilates and treadmill walking, carefully and eventually regained my confidence and fitness.

I recently pulled out my cellerciser again because I missed the dancing vibes.

I’m feeling it in places that the Pilates and the treadmill weren’t getting. I’m gaining more strength than with both of those together-So I’m going to combine all three. I don’t know why I’m surprised because I remember how fit I got when I regularly rebounded, but I was doing other activities at the same time so I didn’t narrow it down.

This has been a great eye opener-

The power of the rebounding is real !!
