Bloody mess

A follow-up. I've been following a low fodmap diet for 4 weeks now. I'm still bleeding. Maybe that's from oatmeal. Maybe it's from all the lettuce I've been eating. It could also be from the chicken noodle soup. I'm going to have a donut when I go home. I bought donuts for Hazel's birthday after playing basketball this morning. I would like to start eating wheat again. Since I don't think that's my problem, I'll reintroduce it. This morning I came in for a follow up visit with a nurse practitioner. Apparently there was a mix-up and I was only supposed to come in after my endoscopy and colonoscopy. So, I'll schedule both now. The endoscopy is to check my throat to see why I have trouble swallowing sometimes. That will go through my stomach and into the upper part of my upper intestine. The colonoscopy of course will go into the lower part of my upper intestine. They'll probe me from both ends. If I'm lucky, it will be at the same time. I am supposed to be taking citucil but I remember now why I didn't want to. If is citrus based, it will to right through me. I'm going to not have soup for a couple of days and just have salad. I had a couple of days where I ate oat squares or cheerios for breakfast, then Sunday made a smoothie with mandarins in it. I've been heavily bleeding bright red with some clots since then. If I can figure out how to stop the bleeding, I think I can just avoid lactose in the future and be all right.
