The diet is working for me ..       12/05/05 06:35 AM Edit Reply Quote crew Reged: 06/24/05 Posts: 170 ... and I'm a C'er! I went through the exact same feelings as you .. feeling overwhelmed and hopeless, wondering if I was doing something wrong, wondering if the diet just plain didn't work .. I actually started over a few times convinced that I had done something wrong. But, after stressing and stressing, finally one day something clicked. I was able to start noticing what foods I needed to eat to have a BM. For the most part I just used common sense and said to myself "Ok, I have had oatmeal and pasta today .. thats a lot of SF. I feel like I have to go, but I'm just C. Well, I need some IF then. I'll make a smoothie with strawberries and blueberries ... orrr I'll make some peas" I still do that today, and it works every time. I also realized how important my water intake is. Without the water, I would NEVER go. I will say this, I follow everything about Heather's diet .. except, I do not take an SFS. Most people on this board swear by their SFS, so b/c of that, I would stick to it if you are doing that already. But, the fact that I don't and I am still stable, I think says something about the diet. My advice would be to try making the majority of all your meals SF and add in a little bit of IF. When you get to point to where you feel like you could go but are C, eat some berries or IF veggies and drink some water. See if that doesn't help. Also, and this may sound so silly, but try and move around while, or after, you eat the IF. Bounce or something ... just get the poo moving! Other than that .. I wish I had better advice to give. I hope you find relief soon! Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
