I have been on this diet for about 5 months now. I try to sneak in veggies and other foods but end up sick. I basicly eat rice, potatoes, carrots (cooked of course), plain chicken or turkey, and noodles. I've recently tried tofu too. I know I need much more. Fruits reak havic even if they are blended. Oh yeah I try to sneak in soy yogurt too. I'm losing quite a bit of hair too! I'm very frustrated! Any suggestions?

Have you tried fish? Sweet potatoes? Mangoes?
You might want to look up the list of totally safe foods and see if you can add any of those. And are you on a SFS? That will (probably!) help you stabilize...

...try including the full range of SF and safe protein foods to start with. And then try the safer IF foods...cooked zucchini (esp. in cinnamon zucchini bread) is great. Berries, even in smoothies, can be very troublesome.

hi--
i was losing a lot of hair too!! i was shocked at how much would be in my drain after a shower  are you underweight for your age/height? im 20--and weight 100 lbs @ 5'3". i kept to a similar diet as you, including rice dishes w/veggies for dinner but i kept on losing hair! have you had your blood/vitamin levels checked? i had mine done to see if i was anemic since i follow a vegan/organic diet; vegans lose alot of b12 which is primarily in dairy/meat.
what kind of symptoms do you experience when you get "sick"? if you mean bloat/gas after fruits--try changing them up a bit? i used to eat an apple *every* day b/c i thought it was the one safe thing i could promise myself--and when i recently went on vacation to europe, i replaced my apple with fresh farm-peaches and noticed a bigger difference. also something you might try is: making a smoothie out of fruit and your soy yogurt! i used this brand of dairyfree/organic soy that had a lemon flavor, and blended froz.blueberries and a tiny vanilla extract and it was very good  i mixed heathers acacia in it too and found it controlled the nagging symptoms my IBS-C usually gave me.
i hope that helps some!! see if its easier to find some newer safe foods so you dont feel so trapped in one menu! and if youre having C problems--i very-much recommend Psyllium as a fiber-supp. ones w/vegetarian capsules are the best! peace
