As far as IF, I also have delayed gastric emptying, and the treatment for that is low fiber diet and no SFS. So, I'm really confused about how to get enough fiber for C, yet do low fiber for my Delayed emptying.
I do agree that the more I stress the worse the IBS is, and most of my stress is due to not knowing what I actually have, and trying to coordinate treatments for all my various medical problems that I listed above. Two different doctors tell me opposite diagnosis and opposite treatments. No one can agree on what's wrong and how treat me.
My only hobby is researching medical conditions and possible treatments. I have an existence of pain and symptoms and researching and confusion. This is my existence.
The harder I try, the more I try to learn, the worse the stress, frustration, confusion, and symptoms become. But I continue on this vicious cycle.
What is flylady.net?
My stresses are too many to name in this long thread. As well as the reason for my Eating Disorder.
Thanks for caring Ruchie. I will miss seeing you on the boards until Tuesday. Please keep praying for me. I appreciate prayers.
