CONGRATULATIONS, HEATHER!!! That loose ring is very significant!! I don't remember the last time my fingers shrank!!!!!! Now go get yourself a facial and a massage to celebrate!! You and I are so on the same page! I just dropped a jeans size, from a 12 to a 10! I'm actually wearing my size 10 jeans now, and they don't even aggrivate the IBS (they're ultra low riders)! <aside>I highly recommend ultra low riders from The Gap for all IBSers, btw!!!!! </aside> ~nelly~ Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     You go girl!       #112159 - 10/11/04 06:22 PM Edit Reply Quote atomic rose Reged: 06/01/04 Posts: 7013 Loc: Maine (IBS-A stable since July '05!)

I stoped eating high fat and red meat. I have almost completely cut out dairy. The only dairy I have is some of the things I buy prepacked like crackers and bread and butter!!! No cheese in five days. That is a new recored for me!!!! I also only drink water and Herbal tea! I don't seem to have such a sweet tooth any more either!! Food just isn't as important to me as it used to be. I used to plan my whole day around what I was going to eat I don't do that anymore!!! I hope this helped!!

Not skinny yet but on my way!!!! I just followed the IBS diet!! I used to be big pop drinker and red meat eater!!! I also always overate. Now I stop when I am full (don't want an attack) I don't drink pop or eat redmeat. I also cut out all fried food and have have cut my dairy intake by 75%. I have never been able to lose weight in the past but this seems to be working!! I go to the doctor tommrow and I will let you know just how much I have lost!!! You can do it Bevvy!!!! It is hard I know. I've been over weight since I was ten!!! It feels good to lose some!!! Good Luck Oh yeah almost everthing in my fridge is low fat or fat free.

Now get rid of the rest of the dairy and you will be unsick too! You and I are suckers for the same food- cheese and pop. I used to drink fizzy drinks every day and cheese in at least one meal. But this dier has sorted me out. I had a smallish slice of cake with cream at my Gran's on Sunday and my tummy is a bit off as a result, I have had no dairy at all (except a soup that had some skim milk powder) for 8 weeks, and as you know I had a serious cheese problem. The result is that I have lost over 10% of my bodyweight, and I was within the healthy weight range to begin with. Despite the post dairy tummy I am still in really good form though, keeping the positive vibes flowing! Well done again, and keep on the wagon! Sinead -------------------- S.

It is so hard. But I am realy proud of myself for cutting out as much as I have!! I went five days with no dairy. Broke that streak today . Once again the Irish twins strike again!!! ( it's getting kind of scary how much alike we are!!) I am such a cheese alhloic I need an intevention!! But I am still doing realy good two!! yeah for us!!! No side pain for 5 days !!!!!

I used to have yogurt twice a day and cheese twice too. If I can cut out it you DEFINITELY can. Is the dairy worth risking a recurrence of the side pain..I know i will do ANYTHING to avoid a recurrence of my "doubled over" pain. C'mon Heather you can do it. What dairy item is your worst weakness and I will tell you how I have managed without it and we twins can help each other! Sinead I am rooting for you! Sinead -------------------- S.

Mine were on sale for $39.99, ordered them on-line and since it was my first time ordering online I got free shipping. Saved me $6.95 .

The Tofutti "Mozzarella" slices are AWFUL, really plastic tasting and very expensive. Could you try FF Miracle Whip or Mayo with your dinner instead as something creamy?
