latest update (sorry for the delay).
My weight has gone down from 78 to 65 kilo's, so the fluid pills are working. Slowly. Only 5 more kilo's to go until I am back at the weight I was before I started bloating. Damn., damn, damn.
Good news: the kidneys and liver and both stopped leaking proteins into my system so that is sooo good. The leaking of protein is a real problem if you want to, um, live. They were talking about dialysis at one stage! I think the revamping of my diet has been a major factor. I run for an hour each day and the diet is strictly 'lean and clean', (only chicken or salmon with rocket or veg). Blus I have an oatbran porride for breakfast, (taken from the Dukan diet). Which leads to another very important point: I have now been off the laxatives for 4 weeks and 4 days! I am sooooo proud of me! I truly never thought that after 30 years of continual abuse I could stop. Usually if I bloated up, I would panic and skull up to 70 laxatives. By morning, problem solved.
Only one more test to go: the endocrinologist. On a waiting list for that. Hopefully they can clear up the last of 'The great bloating mystery'.

I keep thinking "well, that's one way for her body to force her to really appreciate the value of staying off laxatives.". I'm so happy you've been off the laxatives for 4 + 4 as well! You are too lively and interesting and entertaining to leave the planet just yet. Hope to see you at the next meeting of the women's writing group.
