Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Thanks for your reply. You are so right with everything you said. Right on target, dear. You'd make a good psychologist!

I am worried because I am so desparate...and so tired of feeling so bad. I just cry and feel so tired and worn out. I love the boards, but just don't know if maybe they may be causing me more stress sometimes. But one day, someone may post the magic cure for me and all others with GI distress and I don't want to miss it!

I've never tried meditation...doesn't seem to be time for it as I am a Type A here and would probably be making lists of things I needed to be doing instead the whole time.

Just being here for me and telling me you can eat these foods helps some, Shannon. All of you.. I just was curious how others did with these foods...or if they are generally difficult for more people. That would be a good indication that I might be more prone to these foods as intolerances as well. Should I be worried about oatmeal now?

How do you guys pinpoint your tummy acher foods when we hurt most of the time? Or don't you guys hurt most of the time. What effects do a problem food cause that is different from the normal yucky feelings?

I wish there was an accurate test to take that would tell me what I am intolerant too...Not an allergy test, but a reliable intolerance test to give me some answers since I have yet to be able to identify one trigger on my own! And I'm not stupid...just always feel yucky and so unable to notice any difference no matter what I eat.

BTW, are you able to eat white rice without it constipating you? I don't seem to be able to and brown rice seems a little harsh.
