Hi,
I posted on Friday but didn't get any responses. I was diagnosed with IBS-C in April, and I have gained about 7-10 pounds since then. I am a Lifetime member of Weight Watchers and have been maintaining a weight loss for almost 2 years. I walk daily, do a Jazzercise class, and do 2-3 times a week strength training. I'm wondering if the weight gain could have something to do with the IBS. I had a barium enema done earlier in the summer, and I found out that I had a redundant colon (my transverse is not where it should be). There are times like this weekend when I when from Thursday until today without a bowel movement. I get to feeling very uncomfortable. I eat a lot of fiber, drink 64 oz. plus water, and exercise. I did have a colonic cleanse in February, but I was wondering what others thought of this procedure. Thanks. catlady
