TAKING A BREAK... AGAIN

 

I knew this... for months I've known it.

The TRULICITY I take twice a week for diabetes management/weight loss 'help', is what is causing the CHRONIC constipation I'm suffering.

Bearing in mind the Trulicity did NOTHING towards helping me lose weight, I am gunna have to start taking something else for my diabetes control.

I stopped taking Trulicity last week, so hopefully in the next couple of weeks, 'things' will be back to normal 💩💩💩.

There is no way I could keep going the way things were, it was TERRIBLE.

TMI?  My blog... so grin and bear it.

Stew's back at work today, so I have the house to myself again.  I'm gunna go for a walk first thing, before heading into Crabby Quarters to sew.

ONWARD...

12.10 pm, and I've  had a lovely morning.

First a quick walk around the streets.

Then into Crabby Quarters, where I started a bag.

On to morning tea with the regulars down in the village  community centre.

Back home, grabbed an early lunch of salad and sausage.

Bex and Lily arrived for a visit, which was very nice.

And now?

I'm about to head back into Crabby Quarters.

COLLEEN:  I don't know if I have already talked about THE CHOCOLATE?

I can't eat it anymore.  With the Trulicity causing massive problems 💩💩💩, eating chocolate ALSO CAUSES THE SAME RESULT.

I should have known better.  The Whitakers Banana Caramel Chocolate caused the opposite effect for just a little while, then it bunged me up.

So, I have about 20 blocks of that chocolate to slowly give away!  Stew will eat a bit of it, but not 20 blocks.

Why do I have 20 Blocks?  Cos Whitakers said it was a 'Limited Edition', so I grabbed heaps of it.

NOW they have advised it is going to become a normal, available all the time flavour. So typical.

TRACY:  I have already tried Kiwi Crush, and almost every other 'remedy' known to man!

The only thing that did work was Lactulose, but it made my stomach ache.

ABOVE:  3.45 pm, and I just finished this bag.  I used some of the fabric I got from my friend Denise yesterday.  The dog fabric is a  heavier weight than I usually use, but it works for bags.

11.30 pm.  I made 4 more Black/White and a pop of blue coasters this afternoon.
Then Stew arrived home, so we spent the evening together.
I looked at a basket full of washing to be folded and thought, Yeah Nah.  It can wait until tomorrow.
Time to head off to bed now... catch ya tomorrow.

  1. It's good to know that that is a bad side effect!

  2. Hubbards clusters (I have vanilla and almond) are good for fibre and are nice. I have them with frozen raspberries and blueberries and would be nice for lunch if you didn't want them for breakfast. Audrey

    You know, you can counter the Trulicity with a couple of squares of that Whitakers chocolate, just sayin' :) xx Colleen

      Aaah, I remember it had the opposite effect, I hadn't realised it cause the same effect as the Trulicity. Oh well, you'll have to keep looking until you find one that does, right? *wink wink* xx Colleen

    2. The Banana Chocolate block DID give me the shits to start with! But then... not. So I have a lot to give away!

  4. Would probably then go from constipation to diarrea and back again, not a good idea long term.

    Have you talked to your doctor about all of this and scheduled a consultation?

  9. Good idea to try a different medication. Constipation is not goid & can be quite painful. Hopefully you'll get one that controls your diabetes & doesn't have side effects.
