Demi was able to get a quick appointment to see a nutritionist today. It was really good work on her part. I had done some research on the Mayo Clinic website earlier in the week. There was a lot of research suggesting that IBS could be made worse by diet. Some patients seemed to report symptoms worsening after eating certain kinds of foods. We had tried variations of testing certain things like gluten and dairy but Demi and I were winging it. We recognized that we are not experts. We can admit when we need help. And we did just that.
Demi did some digging around and found a woman who came recommended. She also had weekend appointments. For this weekend. Something she normally did not have. How is that for luck? So off Coco and Demi went. They came back with a plan. Demi is really digging in to do this right. It is a lot of work. But if it helps Coco beat IBS, then it will have been worth it.
