  3.  @alexthehomboi  hi alex. Jan here. I take myralax before bedtime. I think it kinda builds gas to push the food out to have a b.m. if i have any dirrea i dont take it until it clears up. So i had 3 good days of 2 times daily. But only 1 and a half. Amounts of food of a b.m. i have to eat light very soft diet. Like rice and chicken broth. A banna or apple sauce until the nausea and stomach gets better. So i have added plain mashed potatoes a few days. And pinto beans cooked. If i eat to much then i get nausiated. Since im new at this. Trying to choose what i can eat is a mess. For now the doc put me on. This diet of. White toast. Rice. Chicken broth. Apple sauce. Or a banna. Daily. Not enough food. I dont eat bread except a hamburger lettuce meat grilled a little mayo. Now no tomatoes pickles onions cheese. Just now a plain burger. Now no bread. Just a burger patty. Some chicken. Not much chicken in a tamali. Home made at the store cafe. Beans and rice. Small order of 2 tamalies. I have no weight to loose. Ive lost 10 lbs. Since sept. I ate at a chipoles mexican grill resturant. Never been there before. Had a loaded salad. Had it fir the day. No cucumbers or pickles or olives. So that is what started my stomach upset. Now i wonder what i can eat for the rest of my life. I.b.s. is a lifetime thing. Never knew about changing my diet for life. I think one month ago started my upset stomach. This diet is good for another month and the future. Plus the gallstones. They are holding steady. Got pain med. Just incase. Also med. To take before i eat to hold the nausea down so i can eat. Getting the bladder out. The stones wont come back. The stones is in a pocket on the bladder. They cant escape. The bladder has to come out. Or if not removed then im faced with this problem. Im on low income. No computer or experience either. The same for my husband. He cant find a job. He is a painter. Nobody is hiring where we live in texas. Outside of computers. Construction work. No experience . never done that kind of work before. Simple painting empty apts.only. ready to rent. Thank you once again. God bless you all. Love you all. Prayers is with you all.
