Feeling hopeless with reason       01/16/05 10:52 AM Edit Reply Quote Augie Reged: 10/27/04 Posts: 5807 Loc: Illinois Thank you for your concern and your thoughtful response, and for just thinking of me, Natalie. It really touched me that you cared enough to post to me! I am very depressed and frightened because as much as people can say it will get better, there is no guarentee that it will get better for me. Maybe Heather's diet doesn't work for everyone. I hope it will, but I have gotten no where! I try so hard to do it right. I swear I don't know what everyone else who is stable is doing that I am not. I have never been stable while doing this diet, even with just staying with the basic stuff and not trying the cooked onion or garlic or anything fancy. Never. If I could just feel a little progress, a baby step, that would give me hope. But that has not happened after months and months, I would say more than 6 months maybe.I lost count of when I started. That's why I keep thinking I must be doing something wrong. But for the life of me, I don't know what it is. I understand it takes longer for IBS-C people, but how much longer? I suppose trying to find the balance of tolerable insoluables is rough. And if I am never stable, how do I figure out if something I am eating is a trigger? How did you identify oatmeal as a problem for you? I assumed if it is on heathers safe list it should be safe. Period! So if food on the safe list is not safe for some, where do I begin? How do I know what is okay to eat when I've never been stable and can't figure out what my triggers are because I am always symptomatic? How do I adapt when I can't figure out what my needs are? I do think I need the hypnotherapy! I totally believe in it! And I am desparate for some relief. Do you take an SFS Natalie? I am having the hardest time finding one. That also makes this IBS more difficult. Is it a food that is causing a problem or is it the SFS and how do you differentiate? -------------------- ~ Beth Constipation, pain prodominent,cramps, spasms and bloat!
