First off, this will be LONG. Sorry.
I have IBS. BIG time. I have suffered with migraines and IBS for about 8 years, since my fathers death. (Underlying cause - stress and nerves. Working on this..) I have started to think that the IBS is one of the biggest triggers for the migraines.
Over time, I have learned that certain foods made me feel lousy. Then I found this site, and the list of 'Trigger' foods for IBS was almost IDENTICAL to those that bothered me. (I preferred flat pop even!)
I have deteriorated to the point where it seems impossible to work for a week straight. I do not generally get constipated, but I DO get the opposite... and the pain!
I have gotten to the point where I have started giving up on food. Of course, this isn't helping. I am in treatment for serious depression and anxiety, and this whole thing is overwhelming. Not a good situation.
I have always had a sensitive stomach. There are some foods I have never been able to handle eating, some no doubt are more psychological then taste reasons. I grew up on whole wheat bread, and always liked the taste. White is good too, I just thought WW was healthier! My favorite foods have always been Pizza, and all of the ingredients therin, and pasta dishes. I LOVE fresh fruit, and I like most vegetables. (Not tomatoes (weird eh?), or onions, or Broccoli, makes me sick.) I am not a meat freak, but I do like it. I AM a cheese freak.
I have become so down that even things I really enjoy, Like the odd mixed rum drink, have become NON-Appealing. There goes alcohol from the list.
There are a lot of foods I can't eat, I hope I can still correct this problem.
OK - The main thing I need to ask is this...
Today, I am sick, and off work again.
My wife and I decided to start following everything on this site to the LETTER.
So I had a cup of Peppermint tea. (Pure, Natural.)
And in 30 min I was cramped up and got diarrea like crazy.
That isn't supposed to happen, is it?
#2 - Ice cream, which looks HORRIBLE in the light of this site, doesn't seem to bother me! It seems to settle things down even! What's with that?
Any encouragement, or opinions, would be greatly appreciated!!
Phil
