Hi Alisa I am Alot like you. I'm 20 and have been suffering from IBS for about 10 months now. Mine began as a reaction to H.Pylori and the 14 day antibiotic treatment. I have been thin all my life, but prior to the infection I was 5'6 126 pounds..I loved my size. The IBS hit. My lowest weight has been 104 pounds. Prior to discovering the diet and that I was agrrevating my IBS by eating fast food I was having attacks 3 times a week and overeating at meals. People thought I had an eating disorder because I would be in the bathroom after meals. (I have a IBS-A)
I have to say that I have seen improvement under Heathers Diet. I have cut out milk, cheese doesn't bother me in small amounts. I have limited my cereal to those recommended, and Oatmeal. For me Oatmeal has been a very safe food, whenever I feel stomach problems coming, Oatmeal calms me down. I still deal with Nausea, but I am slowly gaining weight, I was 109 at my last doctors visit and I have limited attacks to once in 14 days.My ideal is at least 118 and IBS attacks to less than once every three weeks.
Alisa trust me things will look up. I have p ut my trust in god that I will be able to lead a normal life and I am seeing it slowly but surely. I was soo depressed because of it and wanted to commit suicide, but ... God prevailed. This site has been alot of help...Your in good hands
