Hi again,
Baking and cooking are not my favorite things to do, but since my IBS and being on Weight Watchers, I now am trying out simple recipes. I started using a little Metamucil as a soluble - a little at the beginning as recommended. I order the Acacia Fiber. What do you take?
I guess when I asked about starting out slowly, I meant not too many changes. I am only eating a few foods that I know don't cause flare ups. I was worried about incorporating veggies and other foods into my diet too quickly. When I get attacks they are very bad! Sometimes I have just not eaten because I was too afraid I would get sick at work or at a meeting.
I bought mint tea, too. I want to try that. What recipes do you like?

I am a teacher and love teaching. I, too, am into crafts. I use to make my own cards with a friend of mine. Then we got into scrapbooking, then quilting. I also got into jewelry making and making glass beads. I also enjoy gardening and reading and some good TV shows.
Thank you so much for sharing with me. I was so desperate until I found this site. I'm afraid of taking risks because I might get sick so I am cautious.
I hope your daughter is doing better. I know what it is like to have explosive D because that is what I have when I get sick - as well as bloating and terrible cramping.
You have really been helpful. Stay in touch if you feel like it.
Thanks again,
Mary
