I don't want to sound like an idiot , but this whole time I was thinking that the fateful China Buffet lunch was when this started and that it was BEFORE having poison ivy and going on the drugs. HOWEVER in looking into my checkbook and prescription receipts and calendar I now know I went to China Buffet AFTER starting the drugs and so that means it was probably the drugs that kicked off the bad streak- well possibly. Then again I am still doing bad 6 weeks later so I can't quite figure out what to do. It is possible that last year I had a bad streak after the prednisone too. I do remember gaining weight but I don't remember the tummy situation. Well it is probably just that I am extremely touchy about things and need everything to be perfect for my tummy to do good. So I am eating right, exercising, taking pep caps and pep and fennel tea and taking lots of fiber so should I just pray that this all ends soon or what?

"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
