Hi binok... I honeslty haven't been trying to lose weight on this diet, it's just been a nice side effect.  Part of the diet is to eat very low fat, and for the first time in my life I've been extremely diligent about keeping everything low fat. It has paid off, in more ways than one!

Erilyn,
Thanks for your reply. I notice you eat english muffins. What kind do you buy? Doesn't the wheat products bother you?

I buy sourdough English muffins. Some people seem to be bothered by wheat products, but I am actually okay with them! Wheat is not forbidden on the IBS diet.

Breakfast: glass light soy milk with 1 tbs Acacia. Eggbeaters with green onion, 2 slices toast, 1 with mamrmelade, 1 with partridgeberry jam.

No BM yet... do feel like I have to go. Better not be another C day!

Lunch (12:30 pm): sundried tomato turkey sandwich, peppermint tea.
About mid-afternoon I had another ridiculously small BM - another couple of "marbles".

Dinner: Yves Veggie Chick'n burger on white bun with miracle whip and honey mustard, "fries" with ketchup. Multivitamin, 1 tbs Acacia. 10 minutes on bike.
