I am sorry the past few days haven't been the best and brightest for you. I'll bet that your house stress has a little to do with it, plus foods, SFS's and your body just being plain uncooperative!
But I'm hoping and crossing my fingers that next week you'll be right back on track. Food can really be the enemy I know but just snack on the what to eat when....stuff because once you're feeling better, but not used to food, that could throw you into another attack.
Also wanted to let you know I think you are so sweet for saying that you feel for us C'ers even when you are having awful attacks and in a lot of pain. You're the bestest Bevrs! Get well ya hear!

Kree, Acacia bothered you from the start? Really? Wow. And you found that Fiber Choice is okay? Interesting.
Yeah, you're right -- whatever works. My Acacia story is a simple one: I had reached the maximum dosage without realizing it. DUH. I didn't discover it until I was increasing it even MORE! I was having EXTREME gas, bloating, and urgent D at the most inopportune times -- I was a mess. Stupid, STUPID. All I had to do was look at the back of the bag! Can you believe it? I was so shocked, I cut it out completely -- and got totally better overnight. Now I'm gun-shy about going back to it at all. Hubby ain't helpin' neither! At this point, he just wants me off EVERYTHING.
I think I will take a break from it all, give my body a chance to just clean itself out. Maybe just a Jack every morning with my SoyFee, eh?
Thanks again,
Bev

I KNEW that would get your attention!! Don't worry, I don't eat much and I can tolerate it fine. If it was giving me D, I PROMISE I would give it up!!
Poor Bevvy. Feel better. And give that poor hubby of yours a hug from me, he sounds so discouraged too. You used to say how he'd eat anything you did and wouldn't eat anything you couldn't. I have always thought that's SO SWEET. He just wants you better, hon, you know that. And he's not fed up with YOU, just this darn disease. So go tell him Dr. Laura said you had to give him a hug. Right now! Come on!!

What a nice post. Thanks!
I think I sometimes just need to be more aware of the fact that I can't eat and drink what others can. That includes SFS, other supplements and herbs. I'm just too damn sensitive.
I know of several gals who used to be on the Boards and suffered from IBS, who are now in remission and no longer on the Boards; I still communicate with them by e-mail, and, while I'm happy for them (and I do meant that), I just think I should be there too. And I'm not, obviously.
Thanks for your support, Caryn. It means a lot.
Bev

Thanks for your kind wishes. I feel like an idiot when this happens to me. I should know better by now -- shouldn't I?
Well, this too shall pass....
Thanks again,
Bev

Bev, you're totally right. You SHOULD be there, and you've given be hope that one day (hopefully in the notso distant future) we WILL be there! Its encouraging to know that remission IS possible!!!
....but then again, what would we do without YOU here!?!

Hey Sis & LS,
I don't take fiber supplements and I do eat some dairy (with lactaid tablet first). So there. I have confessed. What a relief!
My conscience is clear....

Hey..
well sorry about your ADB experience.. I personally thought they were gross anyways. But try the pepp fudge cake.. its so amazing.. I usually only add 1/2 a tsp of peppermint cause Its REALLY strong but its great. I just made another one tonight.. BAD IDEA.. since my breakup I swear I've gained ten pounds.. I really need to get my act together and loose weight! This is the time when I'm supposed to get my hair done.. loose weight and get looking fabulous.
Anyways, not too much new around here.. just working tons and making alot of money so far. I'm def still sad, but it gets easier every day. I never forget it, but I've got no choice other than to live with it. One good thing though.. we did get the apartment.. I wrote it in another post but i'm not sure if you saw it. I also just bought my first real piece of furniture ever that is not a handmedown from my mom and dad or from salvation army. So I now have my very own COUCH! and its so cute and pretty cheap (my mom works for crate and barrel so my appliances etc are kickass and at a discounted price). My apartment even has its own balcony so I'm excited.
Also, I live like a minute from lake anne.. I live in north reston.. and there are still shops there, but not very good ones.. reston town center has far better shopping.
So whats up with you?!? I've been having D tonight too.. BUT I think its because of the AMAZING PHENOMENAL YUMMY piece of filet mignon I had for dinner. ahhhh i'm bad bad bad.. but honestly meat really doesnt' usually bother me if I use caution and eat it sparingly. ohwell it was worth it.
