Wow! I didn't realize there was so many people out there that cared about me (and to think I've never "met" any of you.) I just want to say thanks to all of you that responded so warmly to my posts yesterday. It's nice to know that so many of you have felt my frustration and understand how I feel.
RLU, when you said you do everything right and it's not fair that your overweight friends don't and they are fine, that's exactly how I was feeling the other night at my birthday dinner. Everyone around me was pigging out on alcohol and rich, fattening foods and I was feeling so sorry for myself because I was depriving myself and knew I would be the only one in PAIN the next day!
To those of you who admitted they have cried because of their IBS, I appreciate that because it makes me feel more normal.
Michele, I took your suggestion and downed some Fibercon tablets last night (I took 3 which was probably too many but I was panicking because I hadn't had any fiber supplements yesterday.)
And for Mags, who wants to know how I felt after my day and a half of "being BAD"----eating loads of junk food, drinking Diet Pepsi, and not taking my Citrucel---you're not going to believe this. I have had 3 BM's this morning--not diarrhea, but regular ones and I feel better than I have in weeks. I guess while I'm confessing that I need to admit this too---I had a phillysteak sandwich with my boys last night (a greasy steak sandwich with cheese, sauteed onions, and bell peppers.) I figured I'd be doubled over in pain this morning, but have had the opposite effect. That's the first beef and cheese I've had since I started this eating plan almost 2 months ago. Either I don't have IBS or my body just needs some junk food to get things moving. I'm very confused! One thing I will say, I feel much better after that caffeine got through my system. My doctor has warned me to stay away from it, but I just won't listen to him!
