I'm not sure of the exact count of fruits/veggy servings I eat. But I have eaten them a while to know how much I eat can give me too much gas. Gas-X makes me more C if taken too much and doesn't work for me. I have found out that Heather's Acacia was giving me extreme gas and bloating because I was taking a high dose. But that's the reason I got Heather's fiber thinking I can take more fiber in one dose. So I'm back on Citrucel. I hope I find a routine soon. Thanks for your help.

I have not started the sfs yet, I have just too much piled on my plate right now, and a I sift through the problems in my life, and get my load a little more oragized, then I will do the sfs, I did promise didn't I?
I am mostly a c right now, the anti's could be part of the reason I am that way. I have found a way of eating that help me around that mostly. I would not give up the spasmodics right now, just too much anxiety and nervous tendencies happening with me. But, one day I want to be like Heather and totally depend on the peppermint caps as she does. I hope it can happen. Hope you are doing better !

I wish I could find a way of eating to help the C! What way and foods helps you from becoming C? Inquiring minds want to know!
I truly hope your life settles down soon. I know you have been struggling with family "stuff" that has been so weary for you. More prayers and hugs for you. And glad you still pop onto the boards. It helps me get through life. It may not seem like you have time, but it may renew you to deal with things better in the long run.

You know, I have been taking so many different things for my sinus infection the last two weeks, my body is in shock, I really believe that. I also am so C, soooo here is what I plan on doing in the morning to get back on track. One bowl of wheat checks with a small amount of silk and a hot cup of tea. Then later on in the morning I am going to have a banana smoothie, probably with some blue berries mixed in. IF that doesn't do the trick, then I am going to screaaaaamm!!!! I just ate a half of pnut butter sandwich with some apple butter on it, mostly to shield my tummy from the pain caused from meds. I cannot do pnut butter, it C's me so bad, and here I go eating it again. My Dr. thinks I may have some type of auto-immune problem going on. The anti biotics are not phasing this sinus infection, the prednisone, is only hurting my stomach and bones (it is in the garbage as we speak). I am to have a ct scan in three weeks after I finish a round of some stuff called Clindemycin, (sp). We will see after that. I am feeling so badly, if I could throw up, I think I would be in better shape. I don't know what to do. I am going to order some books on auto immune and see what I can find out. I am so tired of being sick. The kids came over tonight and had supper with us, then we watched Survivor and they went home and went to bed. Their dad is working a 7am-7pm day shift. I take them to school and pick them up, I miss them so much when they are not here. They are really good boys.
Anyway, thanks so much for asking about me, I will keep you informed of my health. If you know anything about the auto immune stuff, please pass it on to me. My mom has Sjogrens Syndrome, it is auto immune, not much info. out there on it.
love to you beth, hope you are doing better wtih your C, are you??? I also had green beans at supper, plan on having more at lunch tomorrow, that kind of thing usually helps me out.

What does magnesium do?
Fennel tea has helped me tremendously. I've also heard that Bean-o or other over-the-counter gas relievers are good, too, but I haven't tried them. I still have problems with insoluble fiber, so I've stopped eating a lot of veggies, and that helps too. I'm trying to add them back in slowly. Acacia works well for me...
