bilko,
I have lived with so much gut pain and bloating that I often have to change pants because of gas build up. It is nasty business and both sides of my family suffer with different types of ailments. I know that wheat, toomuch starch, too much carbonated bev. send me in a tail spin. I also bleed if i eat too much diary.
Most embarrassing is the fact that a surgery to fix a fisure has left me in pain and unable to predict or control movments.
So the stress at a wedding or funeral can be pure hell. but I do enjoy life and I will listen and try to put some teeth into my decision to get my health back!
Thanks to all of you for the discussion. I really did need you.
