I already have done a LOT of leg work for years, and am still missing it.
Would anybody here, off the board by email, or here, be willing to help me adjust me diet to properly follow EFI?
I would just assume hire an RD, but in my experience they really do not help much.
I could use the guidance of somebody who HAS had IBS-C and B, and has followed EFI to get stable.
I'm 26, and honestly, many days I wish I had cancer instead because I just can not stand it, and I feel helpless.
Little Minnie, would you be willing to help me fix my diet or anybody?
I don't know what I am doing wrong.
I don't know
1) How much fiber to have
2) What kinds of fruit to have--if canned fruits are still safe, nutrious, and insoluble.
2) How many calories to eat
-I try to wing it on my own, and the results stink

One of the most consistent responses/suggestions that you have received is to GIVE UP THE BODY BUILDING and concentrate on getting better.
Yet you have never addressed that suggestion.
Seems to me that you want your body building body MORE than you want to improve your pain and IBS issues.
How many times can we tell you that YOU need to do the work at finding what works for YOU.
If what you are doing is not working then STOP doing that!!
Try something different.
You need to read the info and really digest it (no pun intended...lol).
And please do not say that you have....because clearly you have NOT.
Otherwise you would not be making comments like I don't eat dairy or red meat, and expecting miracles from that.
Or seriously believing that 2 TSP Benefiber is the answer.

It has been mentioned to you several times that you do not eat enough IF. On Tuesday, the only IF you had was spinach. I'm sorry, but one portion of spinach is not enough to push out 3000+ calories worth of meat and starches. You need BALANCE!!!!! Reduce the meat, increase the IF. Otherwise there is literally NO way you will relieve your constipation.

How....HOW do you I add IF.
Can you take my diet, and work with me to add in suggestions?
I try and add IF like frozen strawberries, clemintine, but not only does that not seem to work, it seems to make things worse.
I try and increase Benefiber, but it does not work.
OK...fine...I hear you
1) Stop eating so much
2) Add some more IF
but I still don't know
1) If canned fruits count and are good
2) How to add into my diet
Can somebody, is somebody, willing to work with my template and add suggestions?
I'm not getting it...deleting red meat is easy in that you just avoid...but total calories, getting IF, is an art I stuggle with.

Glad to see you are ignoring everyone who is commenting on bodybuilding. It is great exercise good for IBS too. There is absolutely no reason that you cannot follow the EFI diet and do bodybuilding at the same time.
There appears to be lots of SF & IF fiber in the breakfast (applesauce, bran and berries) and lunch (bread, lettuce, pickle, sweet onion and apple). Although the oat bran as I mentioned before could be a problem. You could change this to a soluble fiber supplement. Not sure about Dinner because I don't know what Bak is  However, it couldn't hurt to add more SF in the form of things like rice, pasta or sourdough bread at lunch and dinner. There is a list of food with soluble fiber in them here
Did you say in a previous posting that you have fruits with excess fructose give you problems?

Syl...would you be willing to work with me off the boards to develope a more comptible EFI diet?
I woke up today and feel awful.
I feel SO bloated, and have NO bowel movements.
I do Oat Bran because it can at times help, and my old RD told me to do it.
Yes, I do struggle with bananas.
I really do not understand WHY I am so bloated and constipated today...I thought I got a lot of IF yesterday.
What is your email...I mean I really am struggling with the IF/SF after 5 years and need some help...the RDs haven't helped
