Hey GIRLIE!yeah im still in the phase of being afarid to eat..you sound so much like me before this IBS hit my life.before i got IBS i was the most hyper,happy,outgoing,loveable,spontinous person you could find!then this ibs hit me bad and it totally changed my life..i dont even know who i am anymore.i let the ibs control me for the last 5-6 months or so,i would starve myslef at night and wouldnt allow myslef to eat anything past 10:30 am to avoid the gas..i would wake myslef up at 4 am just to eat i would eat a bowl of ceral and maybe a side of something else,and would wait until i felt hungry which wasant for hours and hours and if i didnt get hungry before 10 am i wouldnt eat,sometimes i would eat 2 bites of white rice just to survive for that night.anywayz i let ibs make me anerioxca,i would wake up in the morning with my mouth bleeding like someone knocked me out and my eyes blood shot and start coughing up blood from being so dyhydrated i was even afarid to drink water.over the last 6 months ive lost over 40 pounds i am 5'7 and weigh 100 pounds.my family excuses me of having an eating disorder but i am to afarid to eat.i know i need to eat something im on here every single day trying to figure out what can i eat that wont send me into pain?i saw the listing of souble fiber foods but i still dont get it,i dont get how the hole thing works.if i ate breakfast souble fiber and then wanted to eat,lets say a gharm cracker with peanut butter i would be ok?if i ate it 2 hours later?it says never eat insouble fiber alone!did you say zelnorm causes gas?or gas is in people with ibs in general?sorry i didnt understand your reply.i have a very very stressful life..i live with a prevert who comes to me about every single one of his problems and complains endlessly i am constantly being accused of things i didnt say or do.he watches every move i make,he is what formed my ibs by all the stress he put in my life.i want to move out of here but im so afarid of being indepdent again,and alone.because this ibs.ive tired every single gas x thing out there and nothing helps it just blocks the gas from coming out and then i have serious problems..alot of people with ibs have probelms with gas?wow!i thought i was the only one,are you talking about like bleching and stuff?yeah thats the reason i cant go anywhere,because i have those gas attacks.fiber supplements would help with the gas?i dont know if your supposed to eat diary at all in your diet if you have ibs are you?i know how you feel about the hole period thing thats when my problems go off the wall!i havent had my period since the beginning of January,from not eating i guess,i know im not pregnet because i was checked a month ago.well im not getting anything in my diet,havent been eating any meat of any kind no diary..basically only rice and ceral.thats good that youve never had a problem with aniexty its very scary..
