Hey! I have type 1 diabetes in addition to IBS, and I can't do much sugar either. When I eat soy yogurt, I go for the Wildwood unsweetened organic kind...it is not made with sugar, and it tastes pretty close to regular plain yogurt.

Awww...thanks Sheila.
I have been doing research, and I believe the reason these high sugar, high carb foods are bothering us is because they are sending our blood sugar through the roof! I know it makes me tired, irritable, and my belly aches. Also, most of the time, they constipate me too.
Anyway, the medical reason is called insulin resistance. It basically means that whenever you eat high sugar, and/or high carb foods, your body has to secrete an abnormally large amount of insulin to bring your blood sugar back to normal range. THEN, it overshoots and secretes so much that when you come back down from your adrenalin/insulin surge, you are left tired, irritable, and craving sweets like crazy because you have lots of insulin still running through you and your blood sugar has rebounded and dropped below normal range...so you need something sweet to counteract that. THAT'S why you crave sugar so much about an hour or two after lunch(at least I do!). Then, you do it all over again, and it's a viscious cycle!
I tell ya, I feel MUCH better since I gave up sugar and flour! I also gave up white potatoes. I eat them VERY rarely, and in VERY small quantities AFTER a low carb meal. I feel better than I have in a LONG time!! I will NEVER go back to eating a high carb/high sugar diet again!! I didn't even realize the harm I was doing to my body. I felt AWEFUL!! Crampy, gassy, exhausted, irritable, fat, bloated, constipated. What a miserable existance.
That may be WAY too much info, but I really find the human body extremely fascinating!! Must be the nurse in me.

Hahaaaa. Guess your not a big soy yogurt fan. 
I LOVE it! Eat it every morning. I buy the plain vanilla, and put whatever fruit is in season on top. Sometimes fresh blueberries, sometimes I cut up a peach or a pear. Anyway, I just love the taste, but maybe its MY taste buds that are wierd! HA!
Glad you are doing better on the questran and fiber! Sounds like that is working good for you.

I think it must be my taste buds. did notlike it at all
Questran tastes kind of bad,but I can tolerate that more so than soy yogart. LOL
ust me
es, the questran is doing great, along with Heathers fiber. so glad something is finally working
usually before I would be in the bathroom all morning, andnow i am not
In fact, I am able to go bike riding with my gandson and be fine as early as 8:30
We went bike riding this morning. I love to ride bike, but it is more fun with someone else to ride with. Seth is 9, so a good companion
when we got bck, it was so hot
we stayed in a bit and then walked down to Subway about fourblocks away and got a sandwich, and brught it bck to eat it here
We ae in the rest of the day
Too hot
I do not drive, as I have a disability with my eyes, which permits me from driving, so if we go anywhere we have to alk or ride bikes Kind of a bummer, but i have had this for years. One would think I would be used to it, but it still bothers me to alk about it sometimes
I got teasd so much in sschool, etc. it made me feel like it is my fault. I am just now able to talk about it and know for sure it is not my fault. In fact most everyone has a disability of some kind and some you cannot tell
It makes me more sympathic and understanding
I have starguards have you eer hert of tht
It is where the cone cell of the retina deteate and there is nothing they can do
I have little straight vision but the perpheal visionis perfect
hve a good day
Hugs, DeeDee
