I ate rice chex with rice milk for breakfast. One soy burger for lunch with a small handful of cheetos. 4 small frozen chicken breast nuggests with a very small amount of fries. I teach and today was a students birthday and I ate one of his cupcakes that he brought.

Here's what I ate. Note: I follow a different diet than Heather's for personal reasons. Also note that I am in no way shape or form "knocking" Heather's diet. We all eat/live in accordance to what works most effectively. AND, things are always subject to change.
fatfree organic yogurt
more fatfree organic yogurt
shrimp fluff poached in egg whites (very decadent)
organic chicken broth
baked chicken boob with tons of sea salt, sage & thyme.
3 roasted organic asparagus spears (I used frozen); 2 dessert spoonfuls of organic homemade babyfood spinach. 4-5 bites of mixed organic salad greens without dressing.
more organic fatfree yogurt
peppermint lavender chai (definitely good for post attack cramps!)
green jasmine tea (very weak)
Feeling much better. Took lots of Immodium & simethecone for D and the gassiness that always follows one of those evacuation attacks. I am aware that the use of dairy is highly controversial among IBS'ers. It did not disturb me, but rather made me feel better. I'm not recommending it though. I did take enzymes and a handful of Beano for my token green things. No gas attacks. Honoured limitations.
Required much rest & fluids, today. Consumed lots of sodium. Feeling much more mentally better. Still working on that programming re: eating my veggies. It will take time. Honoured my limitations.
UFO coffee and sugarless gum.
***note: I have osteopenia & my MD wants me on a very high calcium/ vitamin D diet. ***
Less than 7 farts--and mostly just air! No D, today. Hurray! Looking forward to being on hiatus from D, or an exotic C spell. Seriously, I hope I don't poop for at least a week. Also considering a meal replacement/protein shake thing. I'm just getting sick and tired of eating food.
Kate, IBS-D.

toast, Peppermint tea - I didn't have lunch because of my doctor's appointment. It took longer than I thought and I was too nervous to snack on anything. Update on that visit in the LR if you're interested.
However, after the doctor's visit, bf and I went to our favorite Chinese food restaurant (MSG free, low-fat, filtered water, delicious)!
egg flower soup
Dragon & Phoenix combo (chicken and shrimp w/ lots of vegetables)
steamed white rice

My goal has been to gain weight. In November, I was 105 lb and at 5'6" that's just too low! Ideally, I'd like to be about 125 lbs. Anyway, I was weighed yesterday at my doctor's office - I'm 107 lbs. Up two pounds from November. I was hoping to gain four pounds, but at least I gained something and, most importantly, I didn't lose any more weight.

Kate, the peppermint lavendar chai sounds divine! Is it a specific brand or just a combo of ingredients you did on your own?

It takes a long time to gain weight--but that's definite progress. Way to go, M!
I think we both have alot of nervous/excited energy. My hair is growing back again--very definitely/obviously. I haven't lost any weight, but I haven't gained any, either. I'm going for another five. Honestly, though...it takes a long time.
Keep on eating.
Kate.

Hehe. My witch's brew. I just let the herbs simmer and then added organic milk. You could substitute rice milk. Next time, I think I'll toss in a bit of fennel. It's very nerve calming, gas releasing, and anti-spasmodic/painkilling, sedating. AND IT SMELLS INCREDIBLE!

I think you'll love spaghetti squash. It's fabulous just plain! It would co-ordinate well with bean/legume dishes.
Plus, it's fun to eat & cooks quickly/effortlessly.
Best wishes & encouragement with the Candida diet. I'm glad you're feeling improved.
Kate.

It sounds so good, I'm tempted to try it out. Would you mind sharing your recipe?
