[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 283929, member: 6546"] Marg-- I hear you! I went through all that stuff at first with my stomache troubles, too! Aren't food issues the worst? I had visits with so many specialists. Food lists. Special diets. The complicated theories....(perhaps your mind associates food with?) Turns out, I can't eat rolled oats, either.....nor vinegar/vinaigrettes.....tomatos/sauce.....salt. That's OK. I can alter my diet. But the stress component? That's where I struggled the most....and the harder I tried to "fight" the stress, the worse it got. FairlyOddParent described her daughter as being a good student, lots of hobbies, very active with friends/sports/clubs... It made me wonder whether she is a "Type A" personality that is trying so hard to excel at everything, that she, too, is trying to "fight" her condition....and thereby unwittingly exacerbating it. The harder she pushes herself, the more her mind has to take drastic measures to force her to take a break. Hopefully, she will find some relief soon! --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
