Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

You are definetely in the right place. The people here are great and Heather's diet is not only good for IBS but for your overall health also.

I am also 40 years old, IBS A, and have been on the diet since May. The only time I have any trouble is when I try something that unknowingly has triggers in it. Unlike most of the people on this board I can only tolerate minute amounts of table sugar (fruit sugar does not bother me at all). Because the diet is so low fat, and if you limit the amount of sugar you have, you should have no problem losing weight. I can tell you that I eat all day long and have no weight problems.

Also, you mentioned how good you felt when you were exercising - I use pilates work out tapes called Winsor Pilates. My energy level is not real high and these tapes are only 20 minutes long, low impact, relaxing and do not make you feel exhausted. The exercises make you feel great and really do help tone your body. My favorite Winsor Pilates tapes are "20 minute Total Body Sculpting" and "Bun & Thigh Sculpting" which is also 20 minutes long. The tapes can be purchased on line www.winsorpilates.com or by calling 800-747-3503.

Anyway, hope this helps and I hope you feel better soon.

Kim
