Dear Casey,
I am soooo sorry you feel so bad. As you can see, many people care for you and we all feel bad when you do to.
I'm with Doe, I have to eat many times a day to keep my stomach happy. I am 5'4", weigh 105 lbs. and eat constantly. I eat three good meals a day (SFS before each meal) and snack at least every hour and half in between (rice cakes, bread, chex, cheerios etc.). It was difficult for me to get to this point because like you, I haven't felt hungry in a very long time. I make myself eat even when I don't want to. When my IBS was very bad I dropped under 98 lbs. and my husband forced me to eat more often - crackers, toast, rice, etc. - and this actually helped a great deal.
I've always had a high metabolism but it evened out as I got older (I'm 40 now and weighed 115 before the IBS got bad) and for the last 5 years I had to start watching what I ate. The great thing about Heather's diet besides the IBS benefits is that it is so nutritious, healthy and weight stabilizing.
I hope you feel better soon and that today is a better day. You are one of the first to help others when they are feeling bad and you are quite a special lady!
Take good care of yourself and let me know how you are.
Kim
