"In the" dumps

Don't know what is up... dumped Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Lovely, just lovely. All eating different things. This isn't late dumping like low blood sugar either. No sweating, no shaking. Just abdominal discomfort and it isn't gas or constipation/diarrhea type thing. Just discomfort. That's how I dump! Friday night it was Outback Alice Springs chicken. Lead suspect: honey mustard sauce. Saturday noon it was asian food from the Wokery asian food bar at Wegmans. Lead suspect: not sure - could have been a number of things. I chose the meat from dishes. Meat not breaded or in sauces that look like they are sweetened. I've eaten there a number of times before chosing as wisely as I could. So dunno. Sunday evening it was 2 rykrisp crackers. II bought a pack that were made with only rye flour to try 'em and see if I had problems like I do with wheat. Well... had problems alright and it was ugly too. Abdominal pain and my belly got swollen the equivalent of 3-4 month pregnancy level. I stood and pointed down and said to Rich "LOOK!" He looked horrified/shocked and said "Wow, what's up with that?". Fun, fun, fun. Kathy

Sorry you are in the "dumps" Kathy. It's so hard when you can't really figure out why. I've been having the low sugar crashes alot lately. 4-5 x Saturday and couldn't find a rhyme or reason because everything I ate was healthy. I was getting exhausted from the crashes and from the emotional reaction I was having to them. It does create anxiety about WHAT IS GOING ON AND WHY???? I guess I like to KNOW what's up so I can DO something about it , this kind of mystery is not fun! I don't like to feel powerless. We had a 24 hr prayer vigil at my church. ( Fri. 6pm - Sat. 6pm ) Afterward at the 6 pm service the pastor said when the regular service was over they would pray for healing and annoint with oil. I told my hubby I was going to ask for prayer. I was among the last 4 people prayed for and as I waited my turn we all prayed together for the others aheas of us. People are going through so much pain and suffering and it helped me to focus on them and pray for them too. Well, yesterday was a reprieve from the crazy blood sugar crashes!!!! I was able to work in the yard most of the day and later go back till nearly dark and get some more done in the garden. ( which, BTW, I'm getting a shovel ready - just for you! ) Anyway I felt good yesterday and even ate 2 chocolate chip cookies last nt. which I don't usually eat but for some reason did - they were on the coffee table and we were watching the 911 stuff on TV ( upsetting ) ... well , temptation won out...but didn't cause a crash. Should have. All I can say is thank God. Was it a permanent healing? Dunno...but a break is a break and I will take it however long it lasts, gratefully. Hope you get a reprieve too. Mary
