Sorry to bother you, but another question? Do you find your IBS is better or worse by limiting the amount of food you eat? That seems like a small amount of food for an IBS sufferer. If I get hungry and don't get something in my stomach quick, I'm really sick. I have to force myself to eat breakfast, (sometimes it makes me gag even) but I know if I don't eat a meal that will "stay with me" a while, I'll be paying for it dearly in the afternoon. This is so tiresome...I'm close to becoming a recluse so I won't have to worry about my gut so much.
by the way, Good Luck with your weight loss, sounds like you have it figured out. Noone knows your body as well as you, so i'm sure you know how much you should be eating to lose. i wish I was in tune with my body at least enough to manage the IBS, losing weight can come later. LOL Thanks for taking the time to talk with me.

Oh, you're not bothering me. To be totally honest, and I'll probably get crap around here for this- I've had my IBS since I was a very small child. So when I don't eat when I'm hungry my stomach does swell up and become incredibly painful. But I just ignore it. I think it's because I've never known a time where my stomach didn't swell up or I didn't have alternating D and C or gas that I just deal with it as it is. Part of it is training, for example I really need to sit down and have a dedicated lunch time. For some reason if I try to eat while doing other things from 12-1 my stomach gets super cranky. Unfortunately all of my teachers love scheduling my classes then. So there's absolutely nothing I can do about the fact that my stomach will freak out.
I'm sorry your IBS is bothering you so much! I wish you best of luck in getting it under control and I wish I had better advice than I just soldier on!

Wow...I dont' see how you do it. I can't function when my stomach is acting up. It consumes me and I can't concentrate and am just pure miserable. I'm taking fiber and living on imodium AD, but at least I get some relief that way so I can get what I absolutely need to done . I can't imagine being a college student with this. I admire you. Thanks for answering my questions. This is all still new to me.
