My dear Natalie       01/19/05 07:24 PM Edit Reply Quote Augie Reged: 10/27/04 Posts: 5807 Loc: Illinois Thank you for your input on what has become an ongoing saga--my constant chronic problems with IBS and trying to become stable, and trying to figure out which course of action to take! I too used to be a chronic D for years--going 7 to 10 times a day. Not fun either. Both C and D suck! For one thing, I don't get immediate reactions to food like you did with the oatmeal which makes it more difficult to pinpoint triggers. I feel bloated and gassier as the day goes on and it doesn't really matter what I've eaten. I could be eating something "bad" for me and not feel the effects for a few days. I think most C people have more delayed reactions where D have more immediate reactions. I've tried the straight soluble diet for about a week, then added in an insoluble at a time because I was so C. I didn't feel differently when I was straight soluble or when I started adding in insolubles. I felt gassy, bloated and constipated with both diets. As far as listening to my body, I don't think it's talking to me! I think I'm listening, but I don't hear anything. I will be starting miralax soon, I think. And I think I will call the hypnotherapist I went to once, but stopped because it was so expensive, tomorrow! And whatever it cost, I will get on a savings plan with him and pay it off slowly. I thought about buying the tapes (cheaper) but I think I need a counselor as well. Someone to talk me through the fears and anxieties. The tapes sure would save me money and money is major major major stress for me. I am barely making it now. Please email me anytime. Maybe it's different for D and C people. It seems like this diet works better for D people because C people seem to need more meds(miralax, zelnorm, colace) and it seems that too much solubles cause more constipation. Thanks for your support Natalie, and for bumping this a couple times so that I finally found you! -------------------- ~ Beth Constipation, pain prodominent,cramps, spasms and bloat!
