Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Oprah today!! I'm so worried!!!!

Did you all see Oprah today?????
They did this thing on the Colon and poop, very informative!!
I was amazed!

But he went on and on bout the major importance of whole wheat and fiberous foods an all.
OMG!
But I elimnated whole wheat and a lot of the very fruits and veggies he recommended!!!!!
:O
I'm so worried now!
Especially since I've been more C now AND my blood pressure has gone up some.

Ok so 1) does the Acacia fiber still count as good healthy fiber??

And why is whole wheat bread so bad??

Now I'm all worried because it at least seems so much of Heathers diet is excluding the very important fiber.
Maybe I'm wrong.

I think tho I may bring back the whole wheat breads and cereals again.
I did not like seeing those real colons he had on the show from people not eating and drinking the way they should.

I do know I drink plenty tho, I'm always guzzling water.
Thats why my C worries me even more....sheesh you shoulda seen this show!

I learned that our colon is the most like our brain out of any orgon, hmmmm.
And that all men and women do and should pass gass 14 times a day. More than that signals a problem.
And that our poop should come out in a soft S shape. If it comes out in a "plop plop" series OR comes out hard and is like Marbles or hard to push out then both signals problems.

He exsplained it way better than I can.

He gave tonsa good advice and info.
I also got spooked by the colonospy video he showed, showing this small lump of cancer.
I felt bad that I'm bein a coward bout it.
Infact EVERYONE should get a colonospy done, so I'm gonna bug my family to maybe get it done with me!

But pleeeease somebody tell me my Acacia fiber daily IS very healthy and if taking that daily I shouldn't fret over my fiber intake then??
