I don't get how so many people lose weight on the IBS diet since it's sky high in carbs. I'm trying so much. I exercise, drink lots of water, eat small portions but the weight's staying on. I weight more than before I found out I had IBS.

Hi - do a board search on weight loss and you'll find lots of past posts. Look for posts by Zaftig in particular. And check here for general info web page

When I started the IBS diet I put on weight and now I need to lose it. My goal is 110lbs.
Hang in there.

I had the same thought as you when I read the way we should be eating according to Heather. Especially, after hearing how bad carbs are, and how we should cut them out and just eat protein.. blah! blah! blah!
I have severe IBS-C as well, to the point where it makes me very depressed as well as gain weight, feel sluggish and bloated (doesn't help that I suffer from depression as well in addition to a very poor body image)
I'm not sure what to say at this point except that you are not alone in your feelings!!

I know how you feel. I am extremely bloated and my weight goes up when I have c. It's horrible. I wish I weighed 110lbs. again! It's hard to have a good body image when the their are images everywhere showing people what they should look like.

Those images certainly don't help. Unfortunately, they will always be there and we have to learn to deal with them by dealing with our own demons... have you spoken to anyone about body image and self esteem?
I hope i'm not overstepping my boundary here

Your not over stepping your boundary.  I haven't talked to anyone about self-esteem and body image. I don't really plan to. I don't really think it'll help.

No one knows better than you. All I know is the first thing I want to deal with is how lousy this IBS makes my body feel.. then worry about my weight.
Today is especially bad.. i am having the worst chest pains.. like gas is stuck in the centre of my chest making my back and sides hurt.. and i didn't eat all that badly today.

I have really severe IBS. It's hell. I have no idea how I'm still alive. The pain is intolerable. Everyday I wish I was dead. It's that bad! I have horrible gas pains daily. Phazyme helps but not a whole lot!
