Omega 3 is one of the oils we need, Omega 6 and Omega 9 are the other two. So the OMega 3-6-9 would be better IMHO as it's an all rounder.

Dear Elizabeth,
Man, I do not know how you could load up on veggies late at night like that! I am an A with some pretty wild swings, but in general I have finally had to give up on any night snacks at all after dinner/before bed because it seemed like the food would sit and just PLOP PLOP and bloat in my stomach whenever I *tried* to go to sleep. Besides, I go to bed really early--around 9:15-9:30 usually nowadays as I get "older"  --but I also get up around 4:30, so I have an excuse.
I sometimes worry about not putting anything in my tummy between dinner (c. 6:00 PM) and breakfast (c. 7:00 AM), esp. with getting up so early, but I am pushing my luck for a little while at least.
I agree with you about veggies--I guess being a vegan makes me partial--though grains are just about my best friend now as I am working on stabilizing. 
Be well.

Omega 3 or Omega 3-6-9? That's all I really want to take it for! I've seen others have had luck with this and I would like to try it too.

I don't know specifics other than what I was told at the health food store. The lady recommended a blend for best absorption and the broadest spectrum of good oil. I've been on them now for a little over 2 months, and I think it is helping.

So you take the Omega 3-6-9 combo and not the Omega 3?
What brand do you take?

I take NOW brand. Fatty oils are classified as 3, 6, or 9 (I'm assuming based on their chemical composure) and the Omega 3:6:9 contains oils from all three of those classifications.

Hi Ghost,
Do what works for you. If veggies will sit in your tummy all night long and keep you awake, this obviously won't work. But how about eating a bunch of veggies with dinner or as an afternoon snack? Just a suggestion - you know your tummy and what works for you! 
I've found that I have to have about 12hrs between the time I eat the veggies and the time I get up in the morning for me not to be bloated. So, since I've been getting up a little earlier, I now eat them around 8 or 9pm, rather than 11pm.

Dear Elizabeth,
I usually try to do my veggies--5 servings a day--at lunch and dinner, sometimes other times to! Go for the veggies, definitely! And I am really happy you found something that helps your C; that can be really awful. 
Be well.

Hi Elizabeth,
Is salad what you usually have for IF? What kind of lettuce? What kind of dressing do you use? I used to be addicted to olive oil w/ fresh lemon juice, garlic, sea salt & pepper.
I'm just looking for ideas. Salad sounds good. And so does "going".

I'd been eating a lot of mixed greens, but due to getting my period, my tummy was not happy with it. I'll probably start back to eating more salads after this week, but for now I've been eating steamed zucchini and squash, lots of cooked spinach, lots of carrots, green beans, mushrooms, tomatoes and a little broccoli.
How are you doing? Has there been any improvement?
