For the record, I'm still sick.

In fact, it's been very bad tonight.  Bad enough that I might not wait until Monday for the doctor to get back in, and instead take another trip to the urgent care facility, or possibly even the emergency room.

Just because I could eat a Porky last night, doesn't mean I could eat a chicken wrap from Whole Foods for lunch.  Or was it the chocolate soy milk?  Either way, it's back to applesauce and crackers tomorrow. Ginger tea to get me through the night.

I miss solid poop.  The kind that shows up every day at 2pm as scheduled, but can wait until 2:15 if the men's room is full.

It's frightening when my body's ability to sustain itself is called into doubt. I haven't cooked proper food in nearly a month. And I used to pride myself in being able to eat practically anything. I wonder if I'll ever be able to eat real food again, and my grocery bill will consist only of applesauce, Ritz crackers, gatorade, and toilet paper.

Chicken broth with rice was my mom's patented food for the gastrointestinally distressed. Also, yogurt; the cultures replenish your ravaged small intestine. Take care, man.

I've read that on a health website, but on the very same page they told me to avoid dairy, including yogurt. Dairy is one of the things I'm scared of right now.

Well, don't get the mass-produced stuff like Dannon or Yoplait. Or, if you really want to avoid the dairy, look for lactobacillus supplements. I get it at Trader Joe's and i take one whenever my stomach rebels.

I just ran down to the store and got some Lactinex.
thanks for the idea.

I hope it shows definite evidence of working soon, so I don't have to go to the doctor tomorrow.

The Big Guy likes pineapple when the digestive track is being naughty. Pineapple yogurt he likes best of all, but if you are avoiding dairy, the straight pineapple might help.

Avoid the gay pineapples; they actually contain dairy.

Gay pineapples? Is that a joke, or an oblique reference to the canned pineapples that come in syrup?

Well, I had said "straight pineapples" to mean plain pineapple, so hur hur hur.

As far as I know, in nature, all pineapples are actually bisexual.
