Wow, that must have been terrifying on that plane. I am 53 but have not been on a plane since I was 17 and pregnant with the first of my two daughters. The turbulence, it was so bad, people were panicking on the plane, including me. Now I wish I could travel. My system is different, I had a portion of my rectum removed due to cancer. I have had too many close calls when out, that when I do go out I worry. I had 28 days of radiation and carried a chemo bag attached to a port in my left upper arm for 5-1/2 weeks. I believe because of the two, I have damage that messes with my bowels. Heck, I went into menopause within the first few days of radiation. It has affected my sexual health. I have been told by my oncologist that I always need to know where a bathroom is. I had trouble processing raw foods, and other culprit foods. Now time has passed, I will give the better diet a try. I have always run to food for comfort ever since my adopted mom sat me down when I was five and told me I was adopted. I remember so clearly. I felt unwanted by my bio parents and had those feelings until I was able to talk to my bio mom in my mid 20s. She very much wanted me and did have me for two weeks, she had named me Kimberly. My bio father had my bio mom and another woman pregnant at the same time. He chose the other woman and child. I have never been close to my adopted mom, she is cold and understanding. When I told her my bio mom passed away, she said "That's too bad". Not a "If you need to talk, I'm here". So, I have to talk to her to tell her how I feel. She is not only controlling with me but also my two daughters. It needs to stop. I need to heal. There is so much more over the years that she has done. Anyhow, I will give that healthier diet a try. I do want that it is just that my emotions run for junk. If I have to eliminate toxic people in my life, I will for my own health. Thank you for the posts, it really helps.
BTW, no accident overnight and stool is starting to thicken though I have been taking Immodium once daily today and yesterday. If things don't get better by Monday, my doc will add Rifaximin to ths Cipro. My mood is so much better today, got the most rest I had had in weeks. Body and mind are healing.
