chigirl:

I have been where you are and it's not just embarrassing, it'd humiliating. I can't tell you what to eat except to follow Heather's book. I did and almost got better overnight. You'll get many suggestions here for what to eat. See my original post here:

....Shortly after that I came across Heather's website. After reading for about six hours straight, I couldn't believe what I was learning! All I could do was to say to myself finally, other people have the same problems I do. By this time, everything I ate caused me problems. I read everything I could and was amazed to read where Heather said even water could cause distress sometimes.........

I started the diet the very next day and ate primary oatmeal, cream of rice and potatoes for three days. I drank fennel tea and took Benefiber. I think I may have taken a bit much fiber because I actually was constipated for the first time in over four years. After two days I was beginning to feel better and after the third day started slowly introducing other soluble fiber back into my diet. I was still shaking my head in amazement at how just a simple change could make a world of difference. I bought both Heather's books and have been reading them for the past two weeks.......I assumed that lettuce in salads as well as beans and red meats (for the protein) was good for me.... Also..... I became lactose intolerant.




I can tell you however that after my few 'accidents' I've learned to carry extra underpants in my car or desk drawer for just times like those. It makes such a difference instead of having to wear washed, wet panties for the rest of the day.

BTW: Does chigirl mean you have Chihuahuas? Just wondering because I had a screen name one time that was ChiMom.

Here is my pack below.

Take care,

Bunkee
