Yeah I do think too much was bad for me (even though it was all at the lowest doses). As for the Align, I can only really say that it seemed to loosen my BM up day 4-6 then by day 7 they firmed and now I have a BM upon waking and after lunch, which are the perfect texture and color. Align says that there is a period of days where the body adjusts and I found I was right on track with their tracker they gave with the pills.
My diet - a copy and paste from a previous msg:
Feeling bad: Strictly Heather's 'go' list - Fresh french bread with avocado (my fave) Thai Kitchen rice noodle soup with 1/2 package of seasoning (and no oil) Cereal (listed by liking and with Dream vanilla soy milk): Puffins (Peanut Butter flavor), Oatmeal (with a few raisins, honey and cinnamon), Corn flakes (with a little organic honey), grits (with 2 Galaxy Nutritional veggie cheese slices) and Kix Krusteze no fat blueberry muffins Mango Pasta with salt and pepper Low fat Animal crackers (BJ's brand) Saltine crackers Teriyaki tofu (just firm tofu sizzled in teriyaki, garlic powder, white pepper and curry[if you do curry -it's nice with a little lemon on top right after plating]) with rice noodles, jazmine rice or Barilla Plus angel hair pasta Homemade breads: Zucchini, carrot, applesauce, blueberry ;0)
When I feel a little better: Heather's go and slow list and all listed above - Snackwell vanilla wafers Pops cereal Turkey meat balls (only 1-2 cut up small and chewed well) caramel rice cakes baked corn chips or french bread with Whole Foods avacado dip (really my fave) or artichoke/spinach dip Barilla Plus Pasta with teriyaki tofu, (a little) turkey sausage, or (a little) thin sliced chicken with steamed zucchini or sauteed mangos spiced to liking. Morning star veggie burgers in rice noodle soup or pasta sauce with Barilla Plus pasta Homemade low fat pancakes or waffles with fruit on top
When feeling allot better: all the above - More turkey (turkey sausage and BJ's turkey meatballs) or chicken to diet a little brown sugar to oatmeal I use lactaid with any foods like tortallini or parmesan cheese in foods a little more tomato sauce
As for teas and supplements: Miracle 2000 liquid vitamin - 1/2 once every single day (if I miss a dose I feel like I lack) Primrose oil - 1 cap everyday to give my brain and body the oil it needs to help neurons fire, cells regenerate and primrose to help stabilize serotonin to help the gut get better (helps balance female chemical and recommended by doctor even while I'm trying to conceive) Align probiotic - highly recommended by bloggers with IBS, it is great to help the body combat stress and balance either constipation and diarrhea (I get both) Plus it's interesting reading about the benefits of probiotics and serotonin and the effects of them with IBS.
...I look fw to doing the pizza. I seem to do well with a veggie cheese
