Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I am pretty new here, have been making daily changes in my diet and thought process (!)and am already seeing improvement. I can't believe how many things I was doing wrong, thinking I was helping my bowel issues that were making me worse and worse. I am thrilled to see even a little bit of improvement. I already see less distention in my belly. I had a hysterectomy two years ago, and unfortunately am one of the "statistics" that gained 30 lbs. OMG, yes thirty yucky pounds. I just cannot get them off, and have felt so horrible for the last four months, that it hasn't helped as I have been quite sendentary. I am terrified that my weight is going to shoot up with all this soluable fiber and lesser insoluable. I know I need to keep the fat under 25%, but is that enough for someone that is already overweight and gains 8 lbs. just by licking a postage stamp? I am SO anxious to hear from anyone that may be or have been in a similar situation. Thank you all for your warm welcome messages, and help. I am so happy and grateful to have found my way here.
