Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: IBS & Weight Watchers

I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong. When I first started following Heather's advice I lost 13 pounds. Now I have come to a screaching hault and my weight won't budge. I thought maybe it was because I wasn't eating enough, and my body was holding onto whatever I ate. I am a "Lifetime Member" with Weight Watchers, and was thinking of going back and incorporating my IBS eating with Weight Watchers point system. For example, I should have 18-23 pts. per day according to WW. I have only been eating about 10-14 pts eating for IBS. I'm wondering if I need to be eating more. On top of that, my "recovery" progress has stopped and I am having soooo much pain, bloating, C, lately. I mean, I was traveling this past weekend and I was crying becuase of the pain. My boyfriend thought my appendix had busted and wanted to take me to the hospital! I just explained to him that this is how it is. I look like I weigh about 30 pounds more than I really do because of all the fluid I am retaining. On top of that, my stomach sticks out and is hard as if I were pregnant because of the C, I guess. Sorry to gripe, it is just sooo irritating. Someone please tell me how to 1)continue weight loss 2)get back on track to feeling better. I am so uncomfortable.
