Hi Partly,
Thanks for your thoughts. You're in mine every day. How are you doing? How's the eating going? I haven't done well yet today, but am going to make a grilled cheese sandwich right now.
With sliced tomatoe, mustard & green relish :-) Maybe even some lettuce.
This morning, I had 1 piece of toast with butter & solid honey. I also had a whole lot of vitamin pills. And a large mug of herb tea. That was around 10 am. Went out to clean a house with my friend. At around 11:15 or so, I my abdomen was aching & also my actual stomach (higher up) and I felt really nauseated (which is VERY unusual for me) and as if I was going to be sick.
My friend said that she'd been having similar stuff happen & had come to the conclusion that she needed hydrating & to have a little snack. She only takes 3 pills compared to my numerous ones. She thought it was the pills that were making her sick.
If I take pills on an empty stomach I feel sick. Anyway, she'd brought us both a yummy orange & gave me a bottle of water also. I ate & drank, then lied down for about 5 minutes. Sure enough - symptoms all gone!
I was feeling REALLY sick & thought it was the 'bug' back. But it wasn't. I realize I must be very dehydrated & there probably just weren't enough digestive liquids for all those pills!!
So my goal is to drink more water. I know that juice & herb tea counts also. I've heard that even tea & coffee count, but that a cup of them only counts as half a cup of liquid (don't know if that's true or not).
Anyway, that's my little saga.
hugs, Kath
