I was up last night pondering IBS of all things....

Being a "C", I have gained weight following Heathers advice and the diet has not made a marked change in my lifestyle as I had identified my triggers long ago before I even knowing there was such a thing as IBS.

My stomach is blissfully "empty" right now as I am in the middle of a cleanse(that isn't bothering me thank goodness) and I feel wonderful. I have been "going" every day....yay....and feeling no discomfort from the cleanse.

This empty feeling is real similar to feeling hungry though not exactly the same. Could it be that somehow our bodies tell us we are hungry when we really aren't hungry but just empty? Understand that I am a former anorexic (more of a control issue that a feeling/looking fat issue) and my body is programmed to enjoy feeling empty.

We all know that most "D's" are thin for obvious reasons ...I was just curious as to how many "C's" have found themselves gaining weight since realizing they have IBS.

Your thoughts and/or experiences?

Have a blessed day!...Rachel
stable and sooooooo thankful!
I have IBS but it doesn't have me!
