So yeah, I heard a lot of that growing up, though it was meant in jest. The one I heard the most as I got older was, "You are so full of IT (or "shit") that your eyes are brown."
Yep. They are.
Though I've always liked my eyes. I like the amber colour that appears with the brown rather than my eyes being a solid brown.
Both of my kids have their fathers' eyes. Son has ex-husband's eyes and Baby Girl has Hubs' eyes (even though I keep telling her that maybe her eyes, as beautiful as they are, could change so she looks SOMETHING like her Momma!)
But where was I going with this post?
Oh yeah... being full of "it."
I am so sick of not having regular bowel movements. I think it's because I take extra vitamin D as well as extra iron and b12.
I seem to recall reading that some of those can lead to constipation.
But I am deficient in those areas and I have pernicious anemia so I'm kinda stuck with the supplements.
I do take Benefibre and sometimes Herbulk to help get things moving, but it's still a challenge.
*sigh*
I weighed in this morning - no change from yesterday but also no bowel movements so far today either.
I have an appointment with my naturopath on Saturday and I'd better get my bowels moving again before I weigh in there since it's around noon and I will be, of course, clothed.
And now that I am done for the moment with that shitty topic (pun intended) - here is a pic of Son's eye and Baby Girl's eyes and one of Hubs' eye.
Try some Magnesium - magnesium citrate will do the trick. It's like dynamite! Even an oral magnesium supplement will help or Milk of Magnesia. I think those are all fine when bf as well as the milk of magnesia is not absorbed into the gut, it just passes through.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I wonder if the benefibre could be making thing worse? It does for me...
Good luck, I sympathise with you. I don't like it either!
I hear ya! For weeks this has been happening to me. I am not bffs with metamucil ;)
ReplyDeletei love hearing about your family.. :)
ReplyDeleteoh, i gave you an award! Check out my latest entry. :)
Oh, and er, wow on the eyes! those are amazing photos. How on earth did you taken them!
ReplyDeleteI really like those.
@Beth - Milk of Magnesia freaks me out - I have horror stories about that stuff from my childhood!
ReplyDelete@Sarah - thank you!
@Twiggy - what have you tried? I had some apple cider last night but still-- NOTHING!
@Beth (again) - Son's eye is cropped from a photo a friend took and the rest are from pics I took. For mine and Hubs - just held the camera close to our faces - LOL! And Baby Girl's is cropped from a pic I took the other day.
HAHAHAHA re: the photos. You'll notice I never have photos on my website. There's a reason for this, it's because I barely can use a camera. And it would never have occurred to me to put one up to my eye to take a picture of it...
ReplyDeleteIf you are teasing me and I go blind from the flash in my eyeball, I'm coming back for revenge... ;-)
@Beth - nope, I swear, that's how I did it, in a well lit place, trying to focus my eye and not blink.
