I think I need to start over with this IBS diet. I've been feeling horrible the past few days (since Saturday). I had the worst IBS attack on Saturday night, the worst that I've had in a long time!!  I could barely walk--I almost passed out. Yesterday, I ate rice and Corn Pops (dry in a small cup). Today, so far, I've had a few oatmeal cookies and some plain pita chips. How do I start over? What should I be eating to get out of this funk that I'm in??? I missed work today b/c my tummy hurt, and I had a really bad headache.
Also, I have been really stressed lately, b/c I'm in recovery and I have my first sponsee and she is driving me crazy!!! She has sooo many problems, and I'm only here to guide her thru the 12-steps, and help her stay clean, I'm not a psychiatrist. If I give her a suggestion, she doesn't do it, so it's like, a real pain in the ass lately. Every time I talk to her, or even think about her, I get a massive headache. Saturday night, I was beyond stressed and I even missed a meeting b/c I didn't wanna see her!!!! How bad is that??? LOL  I was on overload Sat. night, even my boyfriend could see how stressed I was. And then I couldn't stop going to the bathroom!!! And I was in sooo much pain!!! My IBS hasn't been THAT bad in months!!!! I had to crawl on the floor back to my room. Yesterday, I was better, but I had a lot of gas, and towards the end of the night, my tummy was really sore.
Today, I have gas and pain. Maybe it's b/c I'm getting my period in 2 days? I usually get bad IBS when it's that time, but not usually on Saturdays already. I'm on birth control, so I get my period at the same time every month.
Oh yea, and I'm looking into meditation and yoga to relieve some of this stress.
So what should I be eating before I get my period and during it? Also, what should I be eating to kinda start over--fresh--clean slate with food? I've had a bad couple of days, and really need to get back on track. Can anyone help me??? I know I'm gonna have my good days and my bad days, but this is getting to be too much!!! It's out of control!!!
