Here is what NOT to do, boys and girls:
You follow Heather's diet to the LETTER, no cheats. You work up to a good daily dose of a soluble fiber supplement. You find yourself - oh my god! - starting to resemble a normal person again. You still don't feel great all the time or anything, and in fact, you still have bad days here and there, but you don't have D for a month and you don't have C for a few weeks... which means you start to relax a little and worry less about leaving the house.
And then you COMPLETELY screw it all up by not taking your SFS. For almost a week.
*hangs head in shame*
In my defense, I was having a lot of problems with nausea, and I just couldn't choke the stuff down. I was also not eating as well - no insolubles, basically - because I felt so sick. But that week or so was enough to really throw my body out of whack. I've gotten back on track, and I've been eating my insolubles. I also worked back up to taking 8g/day of my SFS again, same as before. Know what? Doesn't matter. I'm C anyway. And in pain, and feeling sick. And really, really irritated that I did this to myself.
So anyway, here's my point:
Follow Heather's diet, DO NOT CHEAT. Take a soluble fiber supplement, work up to a dose your body likes. You WILL feel better. And then once you feel better, STICK WITH IT AT ALL COSTS. Because bad days (like I'm having today) feel a thousand times worse when you were getting used to feeling GOOD again.
As Bev would say... worms.
