I have a bowel diesease which is not responding well to medication. Doctor thinks I have IBS as well and to try Fodmap diet via dietician.
I have done 6 days and I am miserable. I have headaches and hunger cramps. I am tired all the time but can't sleep properly. Barely eating 800 calories a day, as I can't cook or afford proper gluten free stuff, so I am on eggs for breakfast, home made veg soup for lunch and jacket potato and tuna for my dinner. Plus the allowable food is so unappealing to me, I would rather skip after and snacks, then eat things that don't appeal to me.
I can't do this for another week. I miss food with has flavour and something which is crispy.
Everyday my goal is to get all my jobs out of the way so I can go back to bed again. I am in bed every night at 7pm. Just trying to sleep to escape how I feel.
Plus my symptoms are just the same as they are when I eat onion filled curries, so I suspect I am putting myself though this for no reason.
I have just sent the family off to eat lunch out together, as I can't face them eating proper food in front of me whilst I drink veg soup again :(
I know I just have to get on with it, just 15 more days to go but it seems like forever at this point.
