Dan and I went to see a GI specialist in SLC yesterday because I'm just not getting any better. It feels like I take 2 steps forward and 20 steps back. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to give us any better news or some magical pill or surgery to fix me. He did start me on a new prescription (I'm up to about 16 pills a day now) and told me to stay away from fiber and fatty foods. So, stay away from fiber? Isn't that all the fruits and veggies and whole grains that are supposed to be good for you? Dan went to the organic health food store and bought me a bunch of supplements and foods that are supposed to help ease digestion so that maybe I can get something to stay down (especially my meds). Right now I have to stay on a liquid diet (V8) but that isn't so bad. The doc said it could have started out as an infection and that sometimes it just takes a really REALLY long time to get over. When I get really bad I have to go to the hospital for IV fluids and meds. This sucks!
If anyone has any ideas for tasty, low fiber, low fat, low iron, low sugar organic foods...I'd love some suggestions.

I with I could help you with your diet. I myself had to be on low sodium, low fat and NO cholestol. It was near impossible. Luckily I did get my cholestrol under control, but, it took time.
Good luck!!!
Try your local hospital, they may have a dietition that can help.
