It helps when you can laugh! Did you ever watch Suzy Orman on CNBC, the financial advisor type...you "sound" like her in your email. Anyway...I smiled thinking of a 112 lb baby coming from your mama's loins! 
I know, I know...I really need to stop acting like I don't have IBS. Sometimes I just want to be like my hubby who can basically eat anything and be fine. I swear just looking at what he eats sometimes could give me an attack. I haven't been this way that long (a little more than 2 years) so acceptance hasn't kicked in yet I guess. Well guess what? I'm ready to accept the fact that my bowels are not normal like the average Joe's and have to plan/eat accordingly. The rice cakes are a good idea since I run around a lot with the kids, errands etc. I work at a hospital and we won't even talk about their "healthy" cafateria. You'd think being a hospital where doctors/nurses eat, you'd have some healthy choices. Once in a blue moon, they have a veggie burger and even those look like they are fried in grease! I usually bring lunch or pretzels to snack on. I normally tolerate a little milk in my tea or on cereal but I think I'm going to soy for that too as who knows, I thought it was ok. I'm not taking any chances as I'm trying to get stable.
No more empty stomachs, (which reminds me, I haven't eaten in awhile...time for a snack, maybe a bananna). Glad you said it takes awhile to kick in. I have a tendency to panic when something doesn't seem like it's working and take another. (I wouldn't do that with donnatal but have done it with immodium and then get nice and plugged up!)
And no more take-out for awhile...for me fat is the biggest one followed by too much dairy. I cannot eat a lot of cheese or forget icecream! haven't touched it in over a year. I'm going to try some soy ice cream fot those special occasions when everyone else is indulging. I used to love to eat out but now am so afraid to. Someday...someday....
Thanks for your enouragement and the smiles!
