Hi Everyone!
I am new to this board and so glad I found this website. I was diagnosed with IBS about 12 years ago when I was in college. Once I reached grad school, the symptoms subsided, and I only had occassional attacks. I have been seriously dieting since December, and in the past month I have been a MESS. Frustrated that this has come back to haunt me, I decided to do an internet search after a bad attack at work after lunch today. (How times have changed - using the internet to research this problem wasn't a thought back in the early nineties!) and found this site. I also found that all of the things I have been religiously sticking to as part of my diet, are IBS trigger foods, and all the foods I avoid are the go foods! When I have a treat after losing five pounds - I eat all fo the Trigger Foods! I also picked up a horrible coffee habit in the last two years, which apparently is not helping, and I use about 8 packets of artificial sweetner a day - whatever brand happens to be around!
So, glad to be here, and starting today I am completely changing my diet and I'm excited to see what happens. I hope I do not re-gain weight, though.
My question is - what's the scoop on Splenda and IBS? Bad?
Thanks! And glad to be here!
Jennifer
