Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: how often do you eat?

Hi Beth. What I have done is eat or drink SF about every three hours. I begin the day with 1 tsp. of Acacia in my herbal tea. I also have cream of rice for breakfast about 1 hour later. Mid-morning I eat a piece of french or sour dough bread (you would have to sub with a nonwheat bread of course). Typical lunch has either pasta, rice or potato to get in the SF along with a fruit or veggie and usually chicken or tuna or turkey. Mid afternoon I have an SF snack of 1/2 baked potato, cream of rice or french bread. Supper again includes the SF of either pasta, rice or potato. Before bed I have a cup of calming herbal tea with another tsp. of Acacia. Seems like a lot of eating but I have lost about 15 pounds and my cholesterol has dropped from 211 to 175!! The best part is I am stable. If I get off of this routine or the stress comes on I will have an attack or a bad day but thankfully those are far and few between.
