Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: IBS-D and Align Bifantis

Thanks Karen,

I generally don't eat breakfast or lunch (sometimes snack on saltines).

I wake up bloated, gassy, several bouts of D and nausea on and off all day. I drink a lot of water during the day.

Snacks: dry oat bran cereals, rice chex, rice cakes, saltines (not fat free though...I'm going out to buy those now).

Dinner: pastas, rices, chicken, some frozen mixed veggies. I have not avoided red meats yet and I'm a cake and cookie kindof person. SO buy the time I get home I'm starving and have a hard time not eating sweets.

My eating habits haven't changed significantly from when I was just having loose BMs, except when I started Align 4 weeks ago. I didn't take any this weekend had no D, just 6 loose BMs this morning.

I just got Heather's books and am committed to changing my eating habits, so I went out and bought alot of soluble fiber foods to cook with. I also plan on avoiding her trigger list for now.

(I have alot of info above, I posted a new thread on eating times also) I wasn't sure if anyone else had the same experience with Align, or if I'm just having a really bad flare up.

Thanks again,
