Forgetting Enzymes

yes! i'm just getting use to having cf so i don't always remember to take them when i leave the house. i always remember them at meals because the pills are right there on the table. today, for instance, i went to the movie theatre and forgot to bring my little pill carrier of enzymes. so i just drank a pop. i wouldn't know yet, but i bet slip-ups will just happen once in a while..
But..I'm new to this forum, and I was wondering how to post something? I want to introduce myself and i'm not sure how to post something! help? thanks guys!

My mom and friends (and I am sure others who are too afraid to tell me) HATE when I forget. hmmmm...that happened today...lol. The problem I have is that I take so many more than I used to (4-5 with meals) so I fill an old pill bottle and when that runs out I forget to refill for like a week. So I will often NOT take enzymes at lunch or with snacks. At home I have no 'real' excuse, but I could make one up...Oh yea and this past weekend, I went to my bf's house for two nights (usually i only stay one, but bc of snow was kinda stuck in his place, which was fine with me) and forgot to bring enzymes with me. I was sooooo pissed, but I actually did ok. Its like sometimes certain foods dont like me and then the next time they are fine...wierd.

It is also draining on me too. I feel like because it takes a few trips to the bathroom to get rid of it all, its just so tiring. Its like damn couldnt I just get it over with in one shot...Like some days I go to the bathroom five or more times...like thats not embarassing! And I dont avoid anything! Because I like too many foods.

Does it take you guys like a few days to get rid of all the nastiness? Like it backs up or the next meal you have (with pills) still doesnt wanna digest? <img src="i/expressions/proudfart.gif" border="0">

YES! I still forget! Taken them my whole life but still don't remember sometimes. I will be looking at that bottle on the table and trying to figure out if I've moved it since I sat down... I will ask my dh 'did I take them??' but he never knows either.
Usually OK if I am out because I have a nifty slider thingy they gave me at my clinic, I don't know what I'd do without it! It's plastic and about the size of a credit card, fits in my purse :) Only prob is if i forget to refill it.
The paying later is the worst :( Pain and grossness, sometimes the same night but sometimes a couple of days later. Very embarrassing. I don't work at home and have had to do some emergency toilet cleaning at work before. Not good.
I agree that it always seems like it's with the very worst possible foods that I forget or run out. Creamy pasta dishes come to mind...
