This is unbelieveable! Last week on Thursday I had had ENOUGH! For two months I've been eating absolutely nothing! Plain rice, rice noodles, spagetti with no flavoring or sauce, plain bread, etc etc etc. But my stomach was constantly in pain. So I figured "if I'm going to suffer I might as well suffer in style!" So I ordered a cheese pizza from Domino's and ate the whole thing! Guess what? I feel great! Absolutely NO stomach problems since Thursday! I've had regular bowel movements....no constipation, gas, indigestion.
I'm sure I'm not "cured" but go figure, Domino's is a miracle food.

Oh, don;t you love this DD! Maybe your bod was in desperate need of some more fats or something? I've heard getting enough fats (but not too much) is also important with bad C.
Also...weren't you in dire need of protein?

I've been really craving pizza lately and you ladies are NOT helping! Cheese...tomato sauce...Mmmmm. And I've been stable lately, too. Maybe it wouldn't be a slice o' pain!
And I'm glad it worked for you, Patricia.

I can normally do Domino's thin crust plain. Sometimes with a few veggies as long as I have my fibercon first. I think other pizzas are more greasy and cheesy.
Tasted good huh?

On sunday ibs was acting up alittle cause me 'friend' was on its way. So, i said screw it. I was at my parents house and raided thier fridge. I ate two pieces of white pizza with tomato, spinach, and broccoli, knowing I would get sick. I haven't eaten cheese in over a year, too. Felt fine! You can sqeeuze things in in moderation! Now, if I did it again today, I know I would be pushing it and probably wind up sick.

I certainly miss pizza and cheese, but it definitely won't agree with me. Glad that it worked out for you. Now if all our little splurges could turn out so well.

Unfortunately this just confuses me even more! Why is pizza ok but watermelon makes me feel like I'm going to die? It's frustrating because I do things I think are right, and I have problems. Do things that are *wrong*, and I feel great. But then I'm sure if I tried my miracle food again tomorrow I'd have the opposite results.
Do they do intestine replacement surgery? Think anyone is donating????

I'm ALOT more tolerant of fat than most IBS-ers...and can cope with some dairy, but IF is my major trigger. So I can have fried fish and chips or pizza fine (occasionally) but a slice of wholewheat bread will give me agony for days!

I had the same thing happen to me. I finally attributed it to I was eating too low fat---and that was making me terribly C. Once I added fat back into my diet, I had bowel movements! I'm not advocating eating a high fat diet, but your body does need SOME fat to keep things moving.
You can't just eat plain bread, rice and noodles and except to have bowel movements.

In form of oils to cook? Or with certain foods? I don't know how to add more oil in safely which might help my Constipation. I wouldn't know how much was too much. Guess, just trial and error, unfortunately.

...this is actually a reasonable amount! Heather always says it's low-fat NOT no-fat (v. bad for you all round).

I have said the same thing about a gut transplant! Please put my name on the list right after yours. I sure do miss being able to eat "normally" like everyone else. I am envious to say the least. I just had to chime in on that one.

Maybe that's all you need in order to allow you to eat these foods??? Are you taking Acacia?
How often are you eating these "iffy" foods? Do you usually eat the safe stuff, and then just the non-safe ones once a week or so?
Do you feel better when you eat these iffy foods more than when you eat the safer foods? This is just so weird!
