Re: What would you do?       09/13/04 02:57 PM Edit Reply Quote atomic rose Reged: 06/01/04 Posts: 7013 Loc: Maine (IBS-A stable since July '05!) Well... a proper diagnosis would be good, no doubt. But I'm not actually losing weight from the IBS, I'm losing weight because I'm not eating. I'll try to explain without being too long-winded. I developed a LOT of anxiety about eating, as a result of the IBS, and basically *stopped eating*. That's part of the reason I ended up on the AD's. I've only been on them for not even 2 weeks, so it's too soon to really see any good effects from them, but they're already increasing my appetite and reducing my fear of eating... so of the things I *can* eat safely, I'm eating a lot more, and a lot more often. But I've only been doing it for about a week, so I haven't gained any of my lost weight back yet. I'm eating about 1,000 calories a day, which is a huge improvement, but I know I need to start adding some higher-calorie food so that I can put a few pounds back on. Unfortunately, all the high-calorie sweet stuff seems to be bothering me still. I know there's a couple other people on here who lost weight with IBS for similar reasons, so I haven't been too worried about it - I just don't like the way I look right now. In the past, when I'd have an attack, I'd deal with it by not eating for the rest of the day, and usually the next day either. I don't do that anymore, but it's taking a long time to recover from 6 months of refusing to eat. Ok, so much for not being long-winded - sorry about that! Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
