Hullo! ^_^
Looks like I'm going to quoting your quotes! *blinks and laughs*

As a serious anticlimax, here's my response to your post:
Anticlimax? Oh heck no! I appreciate the sharing and the caring BELIEVE you me! I'm really touched that others are willing to help me here- 21 years with this stupid condition has forced me to have a sense of humour and it's great to finally meet others who 'get it'.
Please pardon the creative snippage here, the post will turn into novel format if we don't LOL.

Well, actually only IF is problem for IBS - SF is good. I put some of my SFS in my smoothies. If an SFS is tolerable for you, would it perhaps help slow down the sugar absorption?
Well, as I mentioned to Dana, I have Prodium tablets I can try- I've used them before with pretty good results but I wasn't sure how WELL I was tolerating just THEM since I wasn't practicing the 'safer' methods of eating at the time.

YUP! I can do regular non-diabetes desserts, I just have to watch my portion size and combine that good old protein and fibre thing Ooh, ooh - there's a recipe on the Recipe Index for black bean brownies - supposedly they're great. And to think my endocrinologist tried to put me on metformin!!!!!? I thought I was going to die... honestly- the side effect of that medication is 'abdominal discomfort'... on TOP of rampant IBS... I'm telling you, it was nearly a trip to the hospital. Yeah, I heard one of the side effects was "possible diarrhea". I assumed that translated into instant misery for IBSers.
I will happily try the brownies! A treat every now and then will discourage binge-eating and if it doesn't make my gut do the firey-celtic-knotwork-of-doom-dance so much the better!
Oh read the post I put up for Dana about the effects of metformin... I seriously thought I'd have to get IV fluids again! I HATE the Emergency Rooms, and especially getting MORE pokey holes in my arms since when I'm dehydrated it takes multiple tries to get an IV in *shudder*.

You should have seen me at the grocery store today, reading labels and weeping- I'm just so frustrated right now. I can only imagine. The number of grocery items with stuff in them that I can't eat "just" because of IBS was shocking enough when I first started out.
exactly... and my empathies... it was awful enough when I first was put on insulin and my meal plans got limited cause of sugar content etc... adding the IBS factor - well it's not as bad as I'd feared, but my mood was really awful cause I'd had that bad attack. 8/ But then again you know how THAT goes too, bless you.

after all I'm still alive when many doctors have said I shouldn't even be here Me, too, for different reasons - I sometimes get this mad desire to shout "So there". Quote:
YEAH! You tell em! Woop! *cheers for you*

A joy shared is a joy doubled; a sorrow shared is a sorrow halved.
Ohhhhhhhhh I've never heard that before! I LIKE it! ^_^
Thank you again for the info and *especially* the support, this has been hard enough to deal with alone, and now that I have some hope I'm certain that many of my other difficulties will be easier to deal with too! ^_^
*Happy dances*
