Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | some good news to share!

Just thought I'd share some good news! Tuesday and Wed. were the FIRST D free days I've had since right after Thanksgiving! The only thing I did differently those days was add some benefiber to my OJ in the morning and diet coke in the afternoon!

Also, as some of you may know, I have 5 different disease/illenesses with eating issues involved (insulin resistance, IBS, gall bladder, GERD, and anemia). I'm still planning on going to a nutritionist, but for the time being I'm going to try to follow the IBS diet as much as a can since IBS, gall bladder, GERD and anemia have pretty similar guidelines and not as much conflict. I was getting really stressed b/c eating for IBS and insulin resistance pretty much completely contradict each other. I talked to my mom last night who is also insulin resistant and I told her about my struggles. She advised me for now not to worry about diet for insulin resistance b/c just losing weight can reverse it and I should just try and focus on losing weight for insulin resistance rather than following a diet for insulin resistance and just watch my sugar intake since I'm borderline type 2 diabetes. I think until I can get to a nutritionist, that is what I will do. Right now I'm making lists of foods that I can and can't eat categorized by disease and also what I jus won't eat since I'm a picky eater so that when I do find a nutritionist, it will be easier to figure out which foods to eliminate, etc.

Anyway, just wanted to share that.
