Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: This is not exactly a first amendment issue (m)

Hi Jen,
Thanks for your response, I appreciate all the different perspectives that this post is inspiring.
I don't mean to confuse people who are new to the diet. In a way, I am talking to myself when I was new to the diet-when I really limited my food and calorie intake and lost a lot of weight because this board scared me into not eating all types of food. I am prone to anxiety so I take responsibility for the fear that I got from reading these posts... But what I was trying to do was open up different perspectives for people who may be reading this and losing weight or freaking out as I was.
From reading I have done, as I said before, Ghee is supposed to be really easy to digest and help people put on weight and also aide in vatta imbalance (anxiety, etc). So I was just putting it out there as an alternative... and apparently it has not lactose in it, however I guess it's still dairy but it doesn't need to be refrigerated...
Not everyone with IBS is totally lactose intollerant, or fat intollerant. We need fat in our diets to survive. I know this board does not promote many kinds of fats. My IBS was never bad enough that all fats made me sick... maybe at some point it was but now I just can't tolerate "bad" fats, like fried foods, lower qulaitiy oils, too much dairy (ghee not included), basically anything really heavy and greasy... but I do just great with Ghee, olive oils, avocados, and a small amount of cheese....
I guess my main point, after this long winded post, is just for people to listen to the diet, but also to listen to their bodies, and try things in small amounts to see how they react to it... we can't take anything 100 percent.. there is no cure all answer for anyone.... our bodies and experiences are our only truths.
