The blood type diet. I have all 4 books by Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo. But, I can only do the blood type diet after I do Heather's stabilization process.....it's wierd like that. But, it's good stuff, though. The only thing is that my blood type calls for alot of acidic foods because Type "A's" are supposed to have really low stomach acid and I don't. I have severe acid reflux, so I am the exception and have to cut out all of the acidic foods.

It doesn't say. It just gives a huge list of everything under the sun and it says for Type "A's" to avoid acacia. It doesn't say why. It, obviously, reacts badly with my blood type but it doesn't say how. It just says to treat Beneficial foods like they are medicine, neutral foods like they are just a food and to treat Avoid foods like they are poison. But, I'm going to take the Acacia, anyway, and see how I react to it. I was on it two years ago, but I increased my dosage too fast and it caused alot of bloating and gas.....but, it still helped with my diarrhea. So, I'm going to go very slooooowly this time and give it another shot. I don't remember feeling bad like it was poisoning me or something......I don't know. There are alot of those foods that are supposed to be beneficial for me but I feel like crap when I eat them (like Peanuts).

Beth, Yes, Casey is right. Your thin stool,pain, and diffi-
culty going is from colon spasms! They're generally caused by
triggers and or anxiety. What is happening is your colon is
squezzing down to a very narrow diameter making going very
difficult, i.e., you have to strain alot, and it can be
painful too. When the stools do come out, they will be long
and skinny from being extruded. If you have an antispasmodic, take it! If it says you can take one or two,
take two. Try to relax too! That will help. I was having
this problem ALL the time, and the Paxil is helping allev-
iate it, well maybe the Bentyl too(finally!). In any case,
it's not the acacia. I should be able to get to your emails
later today. -Bob

Good luck with the acacia. I'm IBS-D and it, along with Heather's diet, has (have?) worked wonders for me.

Thank you! Maybe it will work for me like it is working for you. I just had another attack about 20 minutes ago, but I didn't have to go to the bathroom. I just had nausea and cramping, so I am slowly trying to get some more food in my belly because I think I went too long without eating and my stomach got empty.

It's the Bride of Frankencat! 
That's from a Halloween card my mom sent me a few years ago... she doesn't normally do that kind of thing, but the cat cracked her up!

Yes, I found that letting myself get too hungry was a good way to trigger an attack. People on the Boards often recommend eating something (small) every couple of hours. It seems to keep the digestive engine running smoothly.
Take care.
