Hi.
Sorry you havn't been feeling well. I agree with Linz on the colonoscopy - we hate them, we don't want to, but we have to have it done!!! Other than that, It doesn't sound stupid to be scared to eat, almost all of us have been there at some point - not stupid at all. I also love to cook and it's been interesting for me trying to find ways to be creative with food that my tummy will tollerate and both me and hubby will eat! We do lots of pasta and chicken dishes and I simply love my crock pot - cooks everything thoroughly and no need for adding oils of any kind. I know it's tough now, but your just getting started and it will get better as you are on the diet longer and become more acquainted with which foods are better and worse for you. All of us are alittle different, so we have to test things out sometimes. On potassium - it is hard to keep enough of it sometimes, but here's my advice - first off, find a good multi vitamin to take everyday, although this may not be easy since lots of them have manitol and may be hard on the tummy. I do fine with Women's One a Day though. Also, bananas are a good soluable source of potassium. Good luck and feel free to post more questions.

Also, saw someone had suggested trying baby food the other day. I decided to try it out, the fruit ones are really good. The vegetable might take some getting used to. But they are quite high in potassium as well. Trying it on toast was good the other day too.

...assuming you check the labels for dairy etc! They're great for easily portable fruit and veg already pureed! I love the desserts.

I go to UNC- Chapel Hill. I tried acidophilus before too and it didnt work, but try this again. get one that has a variety of diff bacteria and has a guarantee of how many organisms are in each capsule. be diligent about actually taking it, and keeping it refrigerated. I have been taking 2 caps about 20 min after eating with room temp water. i will post the brand when i get home.

Thanks so much for sharing your story..... it's so easy to want to believe that ANYTHING will work. But i'm confused about your story.... you say you did have some type of surgery and you had good results?

That surgery was for a problem seperate from her IBS. No IBS surgery, okay?
