Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Oatmeal cookie experiment

Michelle, thanks so much for your response and by the way, I live in North Carolina also and tried to send a personal e-mail to you. I don't eat several meals a day only because I don't have time or maybe I don't take the time. I get up eat breakfast, drink tea, drink more tea, drink water and eat lunch. I tend to get hungry again around 4 PM so I eat a snack (normally a few crackers or an apple. I eat dinner around 7:30 PM because I am usually on the go or outside trying to get some things planted. Then before bed I eat a snack which I have always done. Like I mentioned on the earlier post, I don't eat candy or junk and I am sensitive to salt so if I do eat pretzels I do the unsalted variety. A few years ago I did graze all day on rye crackers and such but I am at a loss with what to graze on now. To me the easy snack food which we can have seems so unhealthy. It is very frustrating to watch people (like my husband) eat burgers, rice & gravy, icecream, hershey's kisses, etc. and remain the exact same weight. My weight gain is in the hips, thighs and buttocks - quite frustrating.

Thanks again and any insight would be appreciated.

Lisa
