My Stomach

I believe it may just be a miracle! I went to the doc yesterday (Thank you Christer!). This is the first time that they haven't looked at me like I'm crazy, and actually confirmed my own diagnosis right away. It is most probably IBS. It actually felt even better than expected to have your constant pain and agony named and recongnised, rather than ignored and dismissed. So now I'm on more meds to help calm my system, and I'm to keep off the fat and the caffeine and all that, which I already was. He's sending me to the specialists at Ersta so I can have all the remaining tests like - colonoscopy... NOT looking forward to that, but Christer said it's not as bad as it sounds. Not so sure I believe him...
Sadly I have no hopes that all this is actually going to lead to a cure, but I feel better on the careful diet than off, so I think I'll stick to it. Maybe not to the extreme, but most of the time seems to help enough :)I'm taking bulk fibres and all sorts of calming things for my intestines... And drinking oh so much peppermint tea. Good thing I actually like the stuff, or I'd be in a really bad way!
As a little perk and a bonus going off the candy has done what I was hoping - the back fat (or camel humps as Annika calls them...)are receding. Yippee! And it's not even as hard as I was expecting. Good thing I can still eat things made with cocoa powder though, or I'd be in real trouble. I've realised that chocolate sauce is as easy as cocoa powder, sugar and a little bit of soymilk heated in the microwave and stirred. Mmmm, YUM! I really do miss kebabs though. At least pizza can be made healthily at home :)
Today is all about photoshoping my first web page for school - and waiting for the final bid on Nicklas' apartment of course. Last bid was 1,470,000 - Insane! And they're still going too! He's a really happy puppy right about now - except for his math exam this afternoon of course... Am getting rather excited about selling my aparment soon too! See the dollar signs rolling in my eyes?? ;)
