Hi Kelly

I'm sorry you've been experiencing bad attacks. Yuck!

I am fairly new to these boards but I don't think fasting is the best way to go for days at a time. I can see skipping a meal and the next meal, eating something really simple like just rice, just plain pasta or just a piece of bread.


For me, when I'm feeling sick, I go back to the simplest soluble fiber meal I can think of and that's Chinese Juk. It's in Heather's Eating for IBS but basically, you boil 1 cup rice with 12 cups water for two hours. You can add soysauce, sesame oil etc to make it taste yummy. I just eat that for breakfast, lunch and dinner and drink peppermint or fennel tea in between. It is really soothing yet non-irritating. The next day, I will try to add another soluble fiber food to my diet besides just the Chinese juk. If my body responds OK, I continue to add more soluble fiber foods. But Chinese juk is my staple when I'm feeling awful.

Hope that helps, and hope you feel better

Janet
