If you're really strict about rarely eating the sweet stuff, then you should lose weight on this diet anyway. I think it'll be so much easier if you don't START eating the sweet-comfort-food we're allowed -that was my downfall! I ate loads because it was so wonderful to have "naughty" foods that didn't make me ill. But now I'm 24 pounds overweight! So don't go there! It doesn't help me that I'm more tolerant of higher fat foods than a lot of IBSers. Darn stuff! Why does it have to be LETTUCE that I'm afraid of and not fries!
I also have Fibro so I sympathise on not being able to exercise so much. It sucks. If I went to the gym 6 days a week like Shell, I'd just die. But keeping active is very important for both IBS and Fibro, even if it's only walking and yoga. Oh yes, yoga! It's so cool. [Note to self, MUST practice more! ].
