Hi, everyone! I feel like I have been gone forever. My husband and I are helping our son and his wife move to another state. As I shared before, my son has many challenges, one being Bi-Polar. Change has never been easy for him, and therefore not easy for mom and dad. In fact, I don't think the word easy has ever entered our vocabulary when we share about the past twenty one years! With all the stress of the move things have completly shut down with my system and I am in pain!! I struggle with C all of the time but right now it has transfered to my lower back. I am dying for some relief in the C area, which usually helps relieve the lower back pain as well. This back pain and C all together sure makes me feel miserable!! Nothing fits and I look and feel so bloated. Unfortunatly it doesn't erase my desire to eat. I feel like I am always tying to figure this diet out and when I am at the store the only thing I can think to get is french bread and white rice. It is easy to eat the wrong things when you can't remember the right things to get. When we were planning for our son to move we came to help him look for an apartment. Our car was broken into and guess what they took? My book bag which had a CD player but most importantly my journal from the past 6 months and Heathers book that I had just purchased! I was so bummed out at the loss. Of course they probably trashed it someplace or my journal willend up on EBAY! So now I need to find another copy of Heathers book to figure out just what I should do to get some relief. I find that when I feel this badly, that everything goes down hill. Certainly my attitude! This is definatly a day that I feel grossly huge and overweight! This has affected my mental state to be sure! Thanks for listening,I am hoping for some relief soon! By the way, does anyone know if there is a difference with Benefiber and the powder that Heather recommends? I have been thinking of ordering some, but I have two bottles of Benefiber and didn't want to get the same thing by order hers.

Sorry to hear about your troubles.Hopefully you'll feel better soon.I keep trying to get this diet right,too.I'm afraid to say,I keep falling back on plain bread.I wish I'd known before.I kept trying to fiber myself to death,literally.It's only been a few days but I seem to be feeling better.
I'm wishing you the best.

I wish you the best for you! You are a very brave person!
As for your fiber question, I think that it varies from person to person. There are some fiber substances that don't work for me but work for others, and sometimes your body gets fickle about it. For example, I used to take Citrucel religiously, but it stopped working after about five months. So then I switched to Tummy Fiber, and again I found myself looking for other options after about half a year. Either way, I change the soluble fiber about as much as I change shampoos
Of all the things I've tried, I have to say that utilizing this board has been the best medicine for knowing I'm not alone or crazy when it comes to inexplicable symptoms.
By the way, I've never had a problem eating mangoes when I feel ill or good. It's sweet and flavorful while settling the stomach and getting a break from the carbs.
Good luck!
