Well, the obvious solution is to go back on Heather's diet. What you're describing is lacking in soluble fiber, and I'm sorry to put it bluntly, but as long as you eat like that, you're probably going to continue to feel like crap.

Actually, the real problem seems to me to be the breakfast and AM snack - neither one of those have soluble fiber. Yes, technically applesauce is SF, but eating just egg whites and applesauce for breakfast, without any kind of bread, would even upset my guts, and I've been stable (and pushing the boundaries a little, shall we say) for a year and a half now.

As far as "carbs" go, you don't say specifically what's allowed in this plan, so of course I have to ask. If it's whole grain - i.e., brown rice, for example - that might be causing you an additional problem, by being too much IF/not enough SF to buffer for the rest of the meal.

Also, you mention this "product" that you ordered. Is that the diet plan itself, or is it a supplement of some kind? If it's a supplement, stop taking it.

I'm sorry to sound like I'm down on this "program", but the truth is, I AM. None of those supplements and plans do anything but empty your wallet (and, in our case, screw with your guts!). I'd be especially suspicious of informercials - their sole goal is to sell something, and their "testimonials" are ALWAYS paid actors. The only thing that really works is self-control: eat less, exercise more. People can and do follow the IBS diet and successfully lose weight.

So if I were you? I'd start over with the IBS diet, starting with "what to eat when you can't eat anything", and work from there, to re-stabilize your insides. Then, as you add more diverse foods back in, just watch your portion sizes carefully.

Good luck.
