I can relate to you -- but I am a little farther down the road       04/07/05 05:43 AM Edit Reply Quote kshsmom Reged: 11/20/03 Posts: 677 I am an asthmatic -- and this has been a rough season for me. I was in the ER twice in two weeks and on prednisone and all kinds of extra meds on top of my advair - plus still having to use my nebulizer.... it was a tough time. In any case, what I wanted to tell you is that I have had IBS and known it for about 2 1/2 years now. Since I switched to the diet I have lost 54 pounds. I did it slowly - between 1 & 3 pounds a week - and sometimes I did stop losing. This past winter I gained back 5 pounds - only to start losing again once spring hit. I want to lose another 7 - 10 pounds. That would put me at 122 - 125 - and at 5 foot 1 inch - that's normal not tiny. We'll see if my body agrees with me. Now -- I am not dieting though --- I am just eating like I am supposed to for IBS -- though I do watch portions so I don't get too much fat -- or too many cals overall. (That will trigger an attack for me) I have dessert though (ADB brownie!!!)- I eat candies, I drink a mug of choc soy milk ..... So it's not a "diet" in my mind. I just wanted to encourage you that it can happen. I know that after the first year my cholesterol had gone down - and I felt much better. It made my overall health better - not just my IBS.
