I was wondering if anybody else feels this way:
I eat, even a small meal, and feel full - sometimes even overfull - and then begin to feel very hungry again in about an hour, maybe two. But my stomach, not my gut area, still feels very full. So, I don't want to eat again yet because I feel like I will burst or barf (sorry!) Sometimes, I begin to have severe bloat and gas which lasts for hours and then I go to the bathroom - where I hang out forever (my friend calls it 'roosting'). Sometimes I feel immediately better after using the bathroom, but then I am RAGINGLY hungry as if I haven't eaten ALL day. So, of course, I get major cramps and a headache and the nausea comes back, and sometimes the bloat too. So I try to eat...and the cycle starts over. I go through periods where I get headaches almost like clockwork about 2 hours after I eat. I don't have high blood pressure either.
I'm definitely beginning to fear eating anything other than plain white bread, rice, or pasta with bananas and rice milk and mangoes. But I am always hungry and end up going to the bathroom 800 times a day and never having a really good BM.
I've tried the SF powders. I've done the enzymes. I've done the probiotics. I've added and removed SF AND IF foods. I've been working at this since Feb 1 and feel like all that I do is struggle and still live day to day. I'm tired of having to think 'Gee if I pack these foods for my lunch, for tomorrow, will I be "ok" or just sick all day? Guess we'll see what happens.'
I feel like my nutrition is suffering.
I guess that I am an IBS-A, with predominant C. But as soon as I start adding a little IF here and there, I alternate viciously, then become a D; then go right back to being C. I can have several BM's a day. But they are just, what do people call it, 'rabbit or sheep-like?' Hardly satisfying and I'm ALWAYS in the bathroom because I just always seem to need to go.
I found that lots of fruits, veggies and grains actually give me good, regular BM's but then I end up with terrible, terrible bloat, nausea and CONSTANT gas. So, I can go to the bathroom fine, but feel just as bad as if I can't - just with different symptoms.
Any advice, suggestions or just plain support would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for letting me ramble. I know this is a long post.
Cheers!
