sorry i have not been posting as much ive been really busy but had some things i wanted to update super-fast! i finally got to discuss my IBS with some DRs in depth so at least its been made relevant to them but i was too surprised with their reactions--i talked first w/my OB/GYN b/c that felt more comfortable since i needed to bring up eating issues and before she heard enough, she asked "who i was seeing for my depression" and recommended i "get help for my apparent eating disorder". my 2nd DR, who is a man, didnt really seem to grasp what i had said. last i checked, a MAJOR change in BMs, as in non-existant for a little more then a week--was a big deal. but he listened as though i was talking about plantars warts!! i brought all my IBS info and really laid down my stuff letting him know i knew what was going on but was in desperate need of another road or treatment. still he seemed spacey but gave me some miralax to try. i was more then *crushed* though by what my lady-doc said b/c im not suffering from any kind of depression--and certainly nothing that requires psychological help. my diet is very strict, to maintain my IBS AND my vegan principles. i just had hoped she, as a doctor AND a girl would understand. this is just why i never want to bring up my ibs--or try to fix it in front of people--b/c its too easy to define my coping ways as disordered eating. she kept insisting that i was sick and gaunt and all that but she's obviously just wrong! has anyone else ever felt manipulated by a doctor? and then felt ultra-crumby afterwards?? someone mourn with me--b/c i feel like poo *hehe*
>>ALSO i was able to find those fiber bars--i think i mentioned them in a reply? theres a company called renew life that just came out with these organic/vegan/kosher/dairy free/gluten free/GMO free/EVERYTHING free fiber bars that have more then 50% of your DRA of fiber!!! i got them from this homeopathic store so you *may* need to hunt for them but theyre out there--and really good! 150-170 cals per bar and only 5 grams of fat! MAYBE thats alot but for a fiber bar with all that---its pretty damn good and im givin in search for them!!
