Thanks, Mags. Just to give you a little more background, I'm 5'1½ " and weigh 120lb+ (IBS-C w/pain). When I started the IBS diet, I was 118 and wanted to lose 5lb but I figured I'd get used to eating differently before I tackled the weight. When I was on the low carb diet, I was around 114lb.
I have a true "mild" wheat allergy (underwent allergy testing a few yrs ago) which doesn't cause the usual allergic reaction, but I think it does cause me to either retain water or gain weight, or just make my bowels irritable! I'm thinking I might try cutting out bread and just eat rice and potatoes for a while, and see how that goes.
I usually eat every 2-3 hours, average size portions of "safe" foods (sourdough bread, rice cereal, soy or rice milk, Will's rice pudding, banana bread, rice chex, 6"sub, no cheese/mayo, pasta, pretzels, "Tummy Mint" tea, etc.). I also take 2 Fibercon per day.
Any thoughts/ideas? Maybe my metabolism is just extremely slow. Thanks in advance!
