Feeling Better tonight!

After 7 weeks of "D", I'm finally starting to feel better. I have been eating more soluble fiber and no junk, taking probiotics, peppermint capsules and drinking fennet tea and gatorade. The big news is that I actually passed gas tonight without having an accident!!!!!!!!!!!! I haven't been able to do that in a long time.

Hooray!!!!  So glad you're feeling better. 

Isn't it weird how the simplest things we take for granted are so wonderful?  Who would have thought that being able to fart in peace is so great?  I remember seeing a post on this board called something like "Did I really have a normal bowel movement!?!"
It's fantastic when things seem to be getting back to "normal" -- Enjoy it! 

  Lets hope it stays that way indefinitely.

Well, I was good for about a week, and generally okay. stools are very soft but not going back to having D 5-7 times a day. And, not much pain or cramping lately either. And, yes - I'm still passing gas without having an accident - LOL
So glad that this forum is here - I would have never told others my excitement that day!
