Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | I am also doing much better !

I've been following this diet since mid November. It has taken me a while to really "get it".

August through mid November I WAS SO SICK !!! I could not even walk down the block. I was afraid to eat which made me very weak and dizzy all of the time.

This has been a journey for me. I am not 100% yet but I am Sooooooo much better than I was five months ago. I have not had D for the past three weeks which is the best I've done so far. Sometimes I get triggered and can't figure out what I did wrong but at least I recover from it quickly. I have NOT had to take any Lomotil (like Immodium AD) for five months now. I also still get stomach aches or light headedness but it is manageable.

My guess is I am still consuming small amounts of problem foods without even realizing it - which causes discomfort. EXAMPLE: The soy cheese I was buying (Tofu Rella)and using not in large quantities but still consuming... I just found out last week that it has milk in it. I can't believe I didn't catch this earlier. I don't get it - who would choose tofu cheese if you could eat the real thing???

Anyway, I am glad to hear that you are also feeling better. It really helps having this forum to understand things.

Blessings,
Leigh
