Hi, I have severe IBS-C or colonic inertia. The nerves in my intenstines are shot and there is likely some paralysis there. I'm currently on zelnorm twice a day and miralax 3 times a day and I still don't go much and have really bad bloating. This diet is my last chance before having a marker test and considering surgery.
This is my predicament: I have diabetes so should go low glycemic but I have gastroparesis (paralyzed stomach) so I can't tolerate insoluable fiber. I'm hypothyroid so I can't eat soy in any form except soy sauce (it affects the medication). I have Addison's disease so I need protien.
The IBS diet matches up with the gastroparesis diet which is great. I don't digest meat, so after the two weeks I need to have protein (60-90g a day). I've been taking whey protein and milk. Sometimes I can only tolerate a liquid diet or I vomit. But... still have problems. Maybe that was all the milk plus the whey protein.
Where would I get rice protein and what sweetners are ok? How do they get protein out of rice when it doesn't have hardly any?
Any ideas on if I need a sweet fix? I've got $10 worth of Splenda in my cabinet. Anyone here use stevia?
I hope I can make it on solid food for 2 weeks. I'm really, really hoping this will work for me. I appreciate any suggestions.
