I'm recording this "gain" today but I know it has to do with my bowels.
**WARNING**
The following journal is about 💩. TMI. Read at your own discretion.
------------------------------------
I was diagnosed with IBS as a teen, which usually manifested itself with diarrhea. Stress and certain foods were triggers. My husband called it my "weight loss cheat sheet", as I could have a meal with trigger foods and flush immediately afterwards, resulting in a weight loss.
Last year, I was diagnosed with diverticulosis. I gather it's like mini hernias in the intestine, parts poke thru weak spots. Usually it's due to constipation and straining during the 💩 process. Trust me when I say, I've never had to strain! But one of the fascinating symptoms of diverticulosis *IS* constipation. Which I now have... in abundance! 🙄
Today's weigh-in of course *had* to be on the 3rd day of no 💩. I know the gain is due to it, as yesterday, I weighed 185.8. Needless to say, I'm full of 💩!
Since I do Keto, I can't increase fiber with fruits and grains, so I have been increasing my fiber intake with Metamucil, and the occasional flaxseed recipe. I've ordered some chia seeds and will be including them into my daily diet (if I remember).
*waves to the people still reading*
All the fun of getting older. Have a great week!
