Thanks for your sample list. In regards to the IBS-A, before Heather I would have maybe two days of normal BMS, a day or two with no BMS, and bad d attacks two or three times a week...of course it depended ...stress played a factor too, plus, yes, I would take the immodium and then that would give me c for a few days. So in short, I don't know. With IBS-D, would that mean I would have an attack every single day? There were times when it was happening every other day so that's why I consider myself D. Now with the diet, I am eating something like this as a sample day:
AM: soyfee with 3/4 tsp Acacia
oatmeal (now with a few blueberries) and/or 1-2 ounces of oj
Or a SF cereal with soy milk and oj
Lunch: turkey, "fake" cheese, 1 or 2 slices of tomato on white/french bread...little mayo or mustard instead, Acacia
OR: blueberry/banana smoothie with white roll and smart balance
Dinner: Rice or pasta (just switched to brown rice the last 2 days and it didn't give me d), broccoli, carrots, or small, basic salad (much smaller than I used to have), and chicken or fish, maybe a white roll , Acacia
Snacks: pretty much only IBS safe (graham crackers, etc.)
Water and Soyfee are my only drinks (except for the oj...I had reflux so I only drink a little...I can't handle tomato sauce too well either)
A few times I tried a ww roll and once a multi-grain eng. muffin instead of white bread, but this diet is so new to me that I'm not sure what's effecting what. Do you think I need to add more IF? Believe me, I ate quite a bit of broccoli last night with the brown rice and fish and had a normal BM this morning (but no IF at breakfast except oj b/c mornings are usually tough). Now I'm going to do IF for lunch. Maybe the Acacia amount is okay? Should I try a sandwhich on whole grain instead of white or would I need to up my acacia to handle that sort of thing? I like your idea of mixing IF and SF like in regular pasta and whole wheat pasta. I think I'm going to do that for my kids too. I told my husband I'm going to eat a sandwich with one slice of each kind of bread so it will be colorful! Please let me know what you think. My bm schedule is erratic right now...sometimes once/day, sometimes none, sometimes none for two days, sometimes twice/day. (And no...I haven't taken immodium in 9 days  )
