I had the colonoscopy and it went okay. The prep was no big deal to me - since I have been dealing with those issues for over two months now. I had to take alot of medicine but it all worked out - we were in the surgery center for a long long time - from 11:30 am to 4:00 pm. We had to wait a long time - they did the surgery and they found nothing - but did take some samples for testing - the worse part was when I woke up - there was so much gas in me and it hurt so badly - those who told me it was a breeze were lying - it was not a breeze it was very painful. I am still feeling bloated two days later. But of course nothing is ever easy for me.
My thrush is back pretty badly - I really think I have major overgrowth of yeast in my body even though my doctors do not believe me and will not test me for it. The GI doctor told me I was not on the Dilifcan long enough and gave me another prescription for it - I will fill it today and start taking it tonight and pray it works this time.
I am still on my diet and doing well with it - but it is not helping my bowel situation. I have turned to praying now - I am not big into religion or praying - but I do not know what else to do. I am really going to try and get out of my funk and depressing and try to get in the right frame of mind. Mind over matter if you will - to get better and feel healthy and normal again.
I hate that every morning I wake up feeling horrible - I am going to try and stay positive that this is going to go away and everything is going to be okay - since they found nothing - I do not know what else they can really do for me. To be honest I am sick of doctors and medicine and appointment - I am just beat.

I have found a lot of comfort in prayer. I hope the same for you.
You are in my prayers.
I am sorry this has been just such a drain on you. Let me know if you need anything at all, I am not too far away...
I guess it's good that they didn't find anything 'wrong,' but it's still frustrating because you still don't have answers!
I will continue to pray for you. You are right, it is mind over matter. Stay strong!
Hi Jackie, you don't know me, but have been following your blog for a long time. On of my friends in RL Mikesgirl turned me on to your blog. I have a story similar to what your going through. I don't want to scare you, but i just want you to be aware. I was diagnosed with thrush - i had large white spots all over my throat, bathroom issues, etc. I trusted the doctors and believed them. Not soon after, i could barley walk, i went to the ER. 3 days later i was on life support and fighting for my life devery day. I had sepis and peritonits. Granted i had delivered a baby by c-section 14 days earlier, no one would listen to me. They all said it was just because i had just delivered. I got the infection sometime during my c-section. I don't know what procedures you have had done prior to this, i am just telling you my story so you may seek other opinions or options. We trust dr's so much, but they are human and can make mistakes too. I will continue to pray for you, i believe he is holding you in the palm of his hand. If you want you can contact me.
I am so sorry you aren't getting better Jackie. I just can't believe that they can't figure out what is wrong, I can only imagine how frustrated you must be getting. You are in my thoughts!
...and I am praying WITH you!!
XOXOXO
