I've been putting off taking my cholesterol medicine for fear of what it might do to my liver. Last week my doctor called to tell me I had fat depositions on my liver. I'm suppose to make an appointment with him soon. In the mean time, I decided to try to change my diet drastically until I get a chance to see him. (I'm ashamed to say that my usual diet consisted of Croissanwiches, Snickers, pizza, and coffee) For breakfast I had oatmeal, mid-morning snack: granola, and for lunch I had a bag of carrot sticks. Salad for dinner. Three days I did this, three days I had major stomach pains by the end of the day along with the runs. I decided I took too much fiber too fast and am trying to ease up with stir fries and salads. Its been a week now and my stomach is still griping me bad all day with much gas. I feel like I permanently messed my digestive system up last week and now I'm afraid to eat. I just keep getting gas, grumblings & pains. Any ideas of what I can do to calm my stomach?
