Having a very painful IBS flareup from too many blueberries. Limit on blueberries is 1/2 cup. Used the heating pad for an hour, which helped bring the pain down some, but I am still hurting. Took the dicyclomine as well, 2 tablets. I will make ginger tea in the morning and use the heating pad again. Cannot tolerate 1 cup of blueberries, even though Monash says it is low FODMAP. The spasms of my bowel are very painful. Will be sticking to strict low FODMAP for a while until symptoms abate.

Just went to take a shower and found out my hot water is not running. I will not take a cold shower, so I cannot take a shower at all. My butt is burning from the psoriasis growing due to the heat outside, too, and I just exercised. All I can do is change clothes without running hot water.

Iron supplements just came in and I have vitamin C gummies to take with them. I need to take 1 6 days a week with 1 vitamin C gummy. Will start that tonight. Mom thinks its because I don't eat enough, but I disagree. I think it's because I eat enough, but I don't have many iron foods in my daily diet I can eat that wouldn't otherwise hurt my problems.
I have noticed Mom seems to give unsolicited advice and then tries to force me to believe it when I don't and I don't fake it. Then it turns into an argument. This is a stressor to me. I didn't ask for advice, so I don't want it.
Update: 6:15 p.m. Just started the iron and vitamin C this afternoon. It is Ferrochel iron, which I will use with 1 vitamin C gummy (125 mg) 6 days a week until my appointment in August. When I go back to the GP, I will get my annual EKG done and ask about how much I should take regularly since I don't get many iron foods.

I am anemic and iron deficient. This is probably why I am having trouble losing weight. I am constipated and don't get the urge to do #1 often. I am waiting for my iron bisglycinate chelate supplements to come in the mail. Once I start using them and I get my ferritin up, I should be fine and lose weight. My thyroid level was good, though.
The GP was going to prescribe ferrous sulfate, which I have heard is very constipating. I said no to that form and did not pick it up. I am a normally constipated person to start with; I do not want to make it worse. The form of iron I bought is much easier to digest and absorb and not constipating. I would like to hear what others have experienced with taking iron supplements and what form you used.

After calming down and thinking about it, I have decided to cut ties with my mother. I have had a much better week without her constantly on my back than with her. Now I see how much anxiety she puts me under when she yells or pesters me, or tries to argue with me, and force me to do things I am not going to do because they are wrong for me. I want her off my books, but it will take a few months. In the meantime, I am trying to figure out how to tell her I no longer desire her as my payee without her yelling at me again, which puts me under a lot of stress. I have been the bigger person in this relationship to this point and I can no longer manage it by myself. Either she has to put equal work in and go to family therapy with me, or I cannot manage this relationship.
I am not going to hold out hope for her to want to work on the relationship. I will just live my life without her help. My case manager will help me. I will discuss with my therapist how to tell her without being yelled at. I have left the therapist a message.
Still waiting for results from my blood tests Friday morning to come back to see why I am anemic and get my thyroid supplements adjusted.
