Thank you for your encouragement! I rely on my faith in God as well to get me through rough times (which are everyday for me). I don't get IBS episodes...they're CONSTANT for me. I'm always in pain and always thinking about how food will affect my bloating and constipation. It's horrible. It's so hard to gain weight when the only foods I can eat without pain are so low in calories. I'm trying my best, though, and my parents have been wonderful sources of support. My entire family is wonderful about that. My doctors aren't. I'm in contact with a doctor at MAYO clinic and UNC about possibly trying Naltrexone, but I won't be able to get the drug until I see the doctor at UNC (even then, maybe I won't be able to try it since it's being tested now) this summer. Right now, things are looking up. I've tried adding back in Acacia SFS at 1/4 tsp every night plus flaxseed. So far, I've been regular!!! Yay!!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it stays that way! I never thought I'd pray for bowel movements!!! =)
How are you doing? Are you feeling any better? How did you gain some of your weight back?
I hope you're feeling better, and God bless, Alisa
