Re: thank you Tracey & PTree

I read the info...good stuff! Thanks for taking the time to pass on info you have probably posted a million times. I bought the P&B today. I think I will start it in the morning. I will talk to my son & see how much info. I can get from him about his BM's... he'll love me for that... but we do plan on doing the cleanse together. I want to try all these cleanses myself because of the stomach problems I have had over the last several yrs. Looking back I can see it started about 10 yrs ago but took 5yrs before I went to the doctor. I was getting these pains that I called attacks once they got bad. It started out so little that I thought it was indigestion then it progressed to pain that would put me in the bed & would eventually go away if I was still for awhile. It was up high, the stomach area. Did an ultra sound on my gall bladder & kidneys, & an upper GI, & blood work... was told it was stomach spasms since all tests came back fine & I didn't have symptoms of IBS or spastic colon. Said yrs of yo-yo dieting probably played a part in it.I have seen 3 doctors & they all say it can't be fixed just controlled some with medications & even then to expect flare ups.Medications they gave me helped some but I just didn't want to pop pills all day long, the rest of my life. As strange as it sounds I figured out that cutting back fats triggers it... if I am in pain & have some fat(like mayo) it will ease really fast... now I find that I have started having a few more problems like some bloating, constipation & pain in the area a few inches above the belly button... but it starts in the original place I had trouble. I very rarely take the prescribed meds because I have just always felt like there has to be a better answer. Certain things bother me now like citrus, carbonated drinks, caffeine, chocolate (even though I feel like I'd die without it). I am so tired all the time no matter what I do I never feel rested of course I don't sleep well... it is 1:36 am as I write & I am starting to feel sleepy so I am headed to bed. I usually wake up several times in the night & by morning I don't want to get up. I thought at first I was just off schedule but now think it is a little more to it since it has went on for 6 months. I don't think I am under any more stress than anyone else or anything really that bad... the 2 worst things that bother me are that I lack energy to do all the things I need to do so only the most important things on my list get done...and it bothers me that I feel caught in a trap with my health & weight. I don't think I'm emotional (can cry over a TV commercial) because I am sad or depressed.... unless it's possible to be sad & depressed without realizing it. I have always been caring & I feel others pain but lately I feel it is a little out of whack... Anyway... I apologize for rambling on & writing a book here... I'm just trying to figure everything out. I really appreciate the info. & support from all of you. I'll keep ya posted.
