this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I really want to know what the connection is between seasonal allergies and IBS. It's fascinating to me from an objective standpoint, but as my own guinea pig, it BLOWS.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

IBS is worse when seasonal allergies are in bloom?

Mine is, for sure. A lot worse, actually. This happens every spring, and I am befuddled by it. There are a lot of anecdotal reports of people whose IBS is worse when seasonal allergies get bad (thank you, internet), but I can't find any real research on it.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Finally. Appointment tomorrow at 3.

If my head stops hurting at 2 tomorrow, I'm going to be pissed.

Because allergies and IBS both can involve inflammation? That would be my guess.

I have a hard time hoping your head continues to not play nice.

First world problem - my project manager ran out and grabbed lunch for us. He brought me a diet coke. I'm not a bubbles drinker but just chucking it seems wrong (it was a fountain drink, not a bottle/can I could just abandon in the work fridge).

Yeah, I'm thinking something to do with histamine, since allergies are treated with H1 blockers and reflux is treated with H2 blockers, but there's histamine overlap.

Does Zantac help IBS?
