There's a few of us around. I know Linz is an A. Of course, now I'm drawing a blank as to who else is, but hopefully they'll all come in and weigh in themselves, anyway.
I'm what I consider completely stable. I still have the occasional bad day, when I eat something stupid, and I can also count on one hormone-related attack a month (which, as far as I'm concerned, is unavoidable).
Right now, I:
- Still follow Heather's diet, with minimal cheating... I eat a few things that are general no-no's, but I NEVER eat or drink things that I know are my major triggers (dairy, for one)
- Related to the diet, I'm eating as little soluble fiber and as much INsoluble fiber as I can get away with. It took me well over a year to find that balance, but I finally got it right.
- I don't take an SFS at all. I also don't take probiotics, digestive enzymes, OTC meds, or use herbal supplements.
- I try to get at least a little exercise every day.
- I am on Lexapro, an antidepressant/anti-anxiety-med, for anxiety problems. This wasn't something I started for the sake of my IBS, but it did help my symptoms somewhat before I stabilized.
I think that's really it... basically, I just eat well, move a little, and try not to do anything stupid to disturb the balance. LOL I know, that's not very helpful.
