thanks! i think the thing is when i do something i have to do it properly, so im following all the guidelines, when i need to find what works for me, its like after the meal last night i ate a bite of a butter cookie, and was ok- i think i can do that ocassionally without problems (not that im going to start advocating it!)
i think my ibs-d seems a lot diferent to some on the post, in that it never stopped me going out etc and i could usually stop attacks pretty quickly with imodium. (except for when i had a bout of food poisioning)it just made me

and i felt unhealthy.
i never did the extreme diet in the first few days, i just started taking fibre and following the guidelines and adapting my meal- its worked pretty well and now i know if overeat certain things (say a take way cheese free pizza like i did the other night) or eat something bad i can take immodium and fibre and b back to normal next day. it no longer makes me

or rules my life. i gave up eating out for a while too as i didnt know how to play it, but i love it and determined to start doing it safely. guess the more i do it the more i'll learn from my mistakes! ill get there!
