I didn't realize you were doing WW! Congratulations on your success with it.
I appreciate your comments on the flax oil capsules. I did a search on them last night and saw that you took them in the past. I wondered what it did to your IBS. That's good to know that they didn't give you D, but I was kind of hoping, since I'm C, that they would swing me in the other direction.
My frustration is that I can eat a diet of extremely high fat, bad-for-you food (such as Big Macs and French fries and Taco Bell nachoes) and be fine----but if I eat healthy, I suffer in pain. That doesn't make sense to me!
I thought if I was extremely careful with the insoluble fiber, I would do ok this time on WW, but so far, I'm suffering. I don't want to get graphic, but when I do have a BM, I really struggle---and it's painful, like everything is moving so slowly through my system!!! I can feel my colon contracting and it hurts! AHHHHHHH! I was not having any problems before I started WW last week. It all started abruptly when I began the program, so I know I'm doing something wrong.
The last time I did WW, I ate tons of high fiber foods (Kashi cereal, raw veggies such a broccoli and carrots, and fresh strawberries)----all of those things that kill IBS sufferers! This was before I realized I had IBS, and I didn't have a clue why my tummy hurt so much.
This time, I swore I would make it through the program by doing things differently. I have been getting in my fruits and veggies by eating canned fruit and vegetables, and I'm not eating any WW products because I know they contain nasty ingredients. But I'm having a hard time getting in protein. I need high protein at breakfast and lunch so that I don't get hungry. But the high protein things I ate before on WW are all no-no's when it comes to IBS (boiled eggs, string cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt, etc.) What do you eat for high protein that doesn't hurt your stomach?
I didn't mean to start a thread on WW's, but I'm begging you to please help me get off to a good start with this. My extra weight gain is making my back and foot problems worse, so I really need to get it off. I may have to have surgery soon on my right foot, which will have me sitting for awhile and burning even less calories.
I am very knowledgable about WW, having followed the program for years. It's just working the program into an IBS-friendly one that has gotten me stumped.
Thank you in advance for your help.
