Alright, for the smarties out there:
As I've posted before, I have ulcers and my GI back home diagnosed IBS and wide colon. He gave me colcicine for reducing (over 2 weeks ago and no improvement). Now back in college, my campus doctor wonders if i don't have UC or some other inflammatory bowel disease, but now I'm pretty confident the GI would have spotted something in the colonoscopy (plus i've never had any blood in my stool). So, I'm in the process of being referred to a GI doctor here in town and wondering what to eat. I'm starting to learn that *gasp* maybe I should be eating a LOW-fiber diet, because my wide colon just builds up bulk and keeps it. My stools are not hard - just stagnant. In the meantime before I see the GI, would you guys approve of following a low fiber diet? What I'm doing now is just drinking water, juices, ensure, and tea/soymilk, and eating jell-o. sound reasonable?
thanks guys. i could use the feedback - i feel like i'm always having to do the self-diagnosing and self-treatment, and a little interaction feels very comforting. i love this board!
