Hi binok... I honeslty haven't been trying to lose weight on this diet, it's just been a nice side effect. Part of the diet is to eat very low fat, and for the first time in my life I've been extremely diligent about keeping everything low fat. It has paid off, in more ways than one!

Erilyn, Thanks for your reply. I notice you eat english muffins. What kind do you buy? Doesn't the wheat products bother you?

I buy sourdough English muffins. Some people seem to be bothered by wheat products, but I am actually okay with them! Wheat is not forbidden on the IBS diet.

About mid-afternoon I had another ridiculously small BM - another couple of "marbles".
