hey beth sorry I didn't see your post earlier..I just responded to another post of yours.. I can't remember the name of the brand of brown rice bread that I used to eat, but I know it was sweetened with fruit juice concentrate...so you can't tolerate fruit juice concentrate? The fruit you are eating sounds GREAT in my opinion...so I was saying its okay!!:-) If you have a rice cereal that is entirely brown rice then I would say eat that instead of the hassle of having to make your own rice cereal with brown rice - God knows this stuff is time consuming. Do you have access to a shop with brown rice flour? I used to bake brown rice muffins and eat them instead of bread because I found them yummier and you can always put jam on those. Your menu sounds good except that you should be eating ALL those vegies....throughout the day if possible and if not, maybe have an early dinner/snack when you come home of soup with brown rice stuck in, and then later on have some chicken/fish with a big portion of beans/spinach etc...so that you are maximising vegies. I would begin to eat raw fruit, without the peel, instead of just the cooked ones...a raw apple is always good for pooing. try a mango too... Please don't let your doctor put fear into you...its much harder to see immediate results with IBS C...how often were you pooing with all those supplements? what did your poo look like? Concentrate not on your fear (as hard as that is) and getting impacted like an old person (!), focus on exercising a good amount (are you a member of a gym? do you enjoy running? swimming? you MUST exercise), drinking lots of fluid and eating what we talked about. Please totally avoid for now the white bread and rice noodles, even if they are 'brown rice noodles' try for now to eat brown rice itself instead...try and bake brown rice muffins...I can find you loads more recipes if you want..I posted you two up on your other post... please continue to be in touch about this...
-------------------- Feel the fear and do it anyway!
