MouthWideShut's Journal, 17 Jan 24

I want this drop to be because the IBS flare up is waning, but I know it's because I'm not eating enough. Drank the equivalent of 11 glasses of water yesterday so I'm feeling a LITTLE better, but not by much. The cramping is still aggressive.

I did a bunch of reading yesterday about a natural remedy that would help with these flare ups, and apparently peppermint oil is known to reduce symptoms. I found a supplement that has peppermint, ginger, and fennel. The reviews were all IBS sufferers raving about how much it helped. So, being easily influenced and desperate, I've purchased it. What's one more supplement?

Going to try to do better with my calorie intake today. And try to be more active. I'm not sure how with this treacherous slush/snow situation that happened overnight.

I'm ready for spring! If you need me, I'll be here for the next hour:
