Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hi Amanda,

Nice to get an update from you! I thought of you the other day, after you posted about doing the Zone thing a little while ago. I am glad to hear you are doing okay with it, I found too that if there wasn't that option to swap foods with other stuff, I would have been totally screwed. I found it too hard to follow personally because right now I have zero tolerance for any raw veggies and now like 90% of all the raw fruits I have tried. Grr. Anyway, let us know on the Fitness board how you are doing on that too! I've heard the Zone has worked really well for some people, I think it just depends.

I know anemia isn't usually good news, but that's great that it isn't your thyroid. I have a friend who got told a little while ago she was anemic and she is doing great now. I also think seeing a nutritionist is a really good idea. I need help so badly eating healthily with all the food restrictions I have, so I am intending to go see one soon too. I am going to see a naturopath (sp) who works with people with nutrition problems, so I will post if he gives me any good ideas.

I don't know anything about diet pills, really except for all the horror stories everybody has heard. My mom bought me these pills called "Fat Blasters" and they are hydroy-somethingerother and are basically just caffiene from what I can tell and something else, can't remember what. I wouldn't touch them, my Dad took them for a while and he didn't have any bad reactions or anything, but even with them and dieting his weight stayed the same so I think they are bogus.

Good luck, and keep us updated!!
Cheers,
--Steph
