Carbohydrates and Live Cultures

so, for the past 5 days, i've been on a stricter diet than normal.
let's just ignore the fact that a few weeks ago i went on a cleanse diet, and now i'm on a...pretty much, all carbohydrate and starch diet. 
the live cultures to which i referred is in a wonderfully tasty drink called kefir, which people say you will acquire a taste for it.  of course, i haven't yet.
the reason of course being my digestive dysfunction.

the change in diet isn't the only impact this digestive dysfunction has had on me. 
i also have back pain.
and i get tired very quickly...my roommate and i were discussing how pathetic it is that i washed dishes and swept, and was tired again.
i have irregular sleep patterns, which are quickly becoming quite regular...reminds me of a baby that needs feeding...but i'm usually needing a hot bath to relieve the pain in my back.
(pain killers are out of the question as they contribute to difficult digestion).
and i haven't left the apartment in 4 days, feeling like a complete hermit, although not disliking it.

i wouldn't mind having some cheese and sausage to put on the bread i eat, though (which is also out of the question at this moment in time).
and as my birthday is in one week, i had hoped to feast...i guess there is bread and potatoes for everyone!
but i'm alive, and in relatively good spirits.

today was the best day out of the five.
in part because i saw the doctor, he told me what he thought was the problem and told me what medicine i should get.
second part, because i had less pain and more energy than the previous 4 days.
second and a half, because the doctor told me no more kefir.
and third, because this medicine doesn't seem to aggravate the condition.

i'm about to go to sleep.  i hope i actually get there.
good day and good night to you all.

I am a little worried about you baby sis. I hope the doc over there knows what he is doing and takes good care of you. I know in the end it is all in God's hands, but in cases like this there would be more comfort in it for me if you were in the States.

Love ya and take care of yourself!
