Thanks for your help. I am much better today, but I've hardly eaten anything. I'm afraid to eat!
Taking Acacia is out of the question. I do not tolerate any of the soluble fiber supplements. They make me much worse!
When I was talking about eating broccoli, Kashi cereal, strawberries, cheeses, that was BEFORE I knew I had IBS. The more fiber I ate, the worse I was. I was in so much pain! And the stupid GI doc I went to see, told me to eat more fiber---to get things going. The high fiber foods just make me bloated. My colon contracts and I get horrible C.
I'm still very frustrated because I want to eat healthy, but every time I eat fruits and vegetables, I have C (and sometimes D). The only way I can tolerate them is canned, which I admit, is yucky. If I eat strawberries, grapes or even watermelon, I suffer for days! How in the heck am I supposed to eat healthy when I can't tolerate these things?
Patience has never been one of my virtues, but I am going to have to, like you said, take it slowly. I do think the lower fat foods are the problem because I don't have this problem when I eat high fat foods.
I just look in my refrigerator and see yogurt, cheese, cottage cheese, apples, grapes----and I can't eat any of them without pain. So I throw in the towel and drive through Mackie D's which suits me fine.
My body is nuts, I know!!!!! Boy, do I wish I could just eat a juicy fresh pineapple, some grapes, or a plum. I would be rolling around in the bed at night in pain.
I need all the encouragement I can get to stick with this. I have to lose this weight.
