I almost slipped last night and ate something bad. I've had IBS awhile and at point was going six months without a D attack. But the last six months it's been on average one a month. And for the past month or two it's been one every two weeks or less.
My last attack was Friday night a week ago. Since then I've been eating only foods on the "safe" list and have been doing well. But yesterday was a frustrating day and by dinner time I was so aggravated I said "Awright, I'll have the damned white rice for dinner, but then I'm going to have ice cream!"
Thank goodness I caught myself in the act of "stinkin thinkin" and stopped it! I left the kitchen, went and sat down and did deep breathing, then was able to go back and rationally decide to have oatmeal instead of the damned white rice, and NOT to have the evil ice cream!
It was the mysterious spiritual power of this message board that made the difference...I didn't want to have to confess to all of you that I'd been so silly!!
Thanks for being there. I now have 6 days symptom free -- let's see if I can make it seven!

Hey, good for you, Laura!  I think you're doing wonderfully. And only one attack every other week? Wow! Mine are weekly. 
You really hate the white rice, eh? It's real good in soup with veggies. However, I know how overdosing on one particular food can become pretty BOR-RING.
You like ice cream I assume. Have you seen all my posts about Soy Dream frozen dessert? Yesterday I got hooked on the mocha fudge (ooooh), but my old fave was vanilla or strawberry swirl. I don't miss dairy ice cream AT ALL now. Why don't you give it a try?
Don't be shy about confessing your sins. We've all done it. Haven't we, guys? After all, it's only fair that you suffer along with us. 
Glad you're doing so well. Keep up the good work!

Are you ok with soy? Personally I really enjoy Tofutti fudgicals. Whenever I want icecream I have one They're totally dairy free!

Good for you Laura!
I would've had the ice cream...being the weak person I am LOL You should be proud that you didn't.
I have cheated quite a few times..but then a person gets to the point where the pain isn't worth it. Until then don't beat yourself over it.

Those are two flavors. My favorite was vanilla, my second favorite strawberry swirl (it does have vanilla in it). I'm not crazy about the chocolate. Blueberry is good (but I've always been crazy about anything blueberry). Now I'm hooked on mocha fudge. 
I confess I have a little every night before bed. It's my treat of the day. If I've had an ADB, though, I pass on the "ice cream." After all, I have this board to answer to! (And these guys can be pretty brutal!)

LauraSue, congrats on making it through without slipping! Good for you! I agree with the others that there are some pretty amazing soy ice creams out there, so ice cream is one thing you don't have to miss!!! I highly recommend Soy Delicious Cookie Avalanche. It seriously tastes exactly like cookies n' cream ice cream. It's my favorite!

Okay, this one goes on the list. It's gotta be good with a name like that!
I keep a piece of paper and pen next to the computer here, which is my "Wants" list. When you guys recommend something special like this, I add it to the list. Then, when we go down to the health food store, I'm ready! I stock up on all these goodies and, together with my hubby, we have our infamous "taste tests".
Yeah, this one goes on the list!

Funny thing...I read your post and I remembered I might have bought something like that for my boys. I looked in the freezer and there it was. I'm eating it right now...it's tasty, almost as tasty as Tofutti's vanilla fudge. I just finished it so I'm sure I'll buy some more. It's hard for me to stop when I get started.

Bev, that's a great idea about keeping a list! I see so many great-looking products on the boards, and probably forget half of them! I gotta start doing that!
Dolphin, I can't believe it was right there in your freezer! What a wonderful surprise that must have been, lol!
