Events of the day make it seem as if I am not getting better, and will have to get tests done. I'm pretty fucking alarmed, but also trying to figure out why this whole thing is making me so hysterical.

Meanwhile, the window people _swear_ they're coming on Tuesday. We'll see.

extraordinarily. My doctor said not to even try rice until the end of the weekend, but when I first got ill I had it without trouble,so I might. I'm also thinking the dairy and sugar in yogurt might be upsetting me, so I'm thinking of buying acidopholus capsules and just taking those and going back to applesauce and toast. I'm also wondering if miso was a bad idea or a good idea.

Oh, dude, if you're having yogurt have nothing but plain, and lowfat if possible. The sugar in flavored yogurt is bad news and the dairy is already iffy, active cultures notwithstanding. The acidophilus might give you the benefit of the bacteria without the heaviness. It won't do anything bad to you, at any rate.

If miso sits with you, it's a good idea. If it sluices through like a Canadian luge team, it's a bad idea. The broth part is good; the soy, iffy. When I am sick like that I sometimes crave it - the saltiness is also good for you.

You can cook the rice in extra broth so it's really wet. Also get no-fat chicken broth if you don't want vegetable, as any greasiness might aggravate things.

Other things you can try: Saltines with a scrape of jelly, and bananas, if you can stand them. They are mild and nonacidic and the potassium in them will help rebalance your system.

Things you can look forward to when your system is slightly more stable and you are bored to tears with toast and applesauce: peanut butter on toast, and avocado sushi (potassium, rice, nori = good).

I'm sorry you're still miserable. Argh.
