I have thought about tracking my foods. I’ve pretty much eliminated uncooked veggies. I don’t eat predictable dinners. My breakfasts consists of a shake that so can grab and go. I have a sandwich for lunch a snack candy at work- the snacks and candy at work really do me in. I guess I could reel that in. Maybe the sugar is a a problem?
i did count today. Since midnight, it’s now 3pm and I’ve gone to the bathroom 8x.
I called my doc and he wants me to get a stool sample right away to check for c- diff and pathogens. I’m positive I don’t have cDiff bc I’ve had it before and this is most definitely not c diff. If you e had it before, you know when you do or DO NOT have it, lol.
As for the stool sample, his office is an hour away- I go to his office as a specialist bc he’s the beaut in CT- i have been to three other docs before him and before my j pouch. He wants to rush the stool sample, but i don’t see why... and in order to do that I have to travel an hour to the lab to get the stuff for the sample, and bring it back tomorrow before my appt, which is another hour away. No way is that convenient! Not to mention we’re supposed to get another 3-5 inches of snow this evening/overnight. So I’m not going to go get the stool sample kit until on my way to the appt- maybe try and give the sample before the appt and give the sample back to the lab on the way home?? Idk why he feels the need to rush it?
I feel like he’s overreacting? I always fear the worst and it turns out to be nothing but me over analyzing. Then i take a half day of work to drive down to this appt and he says, stool sample is fine, blah blah. Idk. Is it me or would you travel the hour to get the kit tonight, drive the hour in the morning to drop it off (mind you I have a 9 month old who has to go to daycare AND we have a storm coming) and I work at 8am), and then drive back down to the appt another hour for the appt in the afternoon. ? I say just go in the afternoon. I mean what’s he going to tell me anyhow- prob just put me on an antibiotic if anything. Chances are he won’t anyhow.
