Hey there,
As posted over on the living room board, I'm an oldie who's been AWOL for a very, very long time. The short story on me is that I have severe depression and un-managed IBS-A, primarily because of the depression. I've got a great psych now who's helping with the first issue, so now I want to get started on the second.
I know all the ins and outs of the diet/lifestyle, but lack follow-through. I seriously can't stay on the diet for more than, oh, half a day. It's bad.
So my questions is, has anyone here taken any drastic steps in their household to keep from going off-diet? By drastic steps I mean, have you forbidden trigger foods from non-IBS members of your family? Or forced your family to eat the same safe meals you do? If so, how has that gone over?
My husband buys frozen pizza and chocolate ice cream, and I especially can't ignore the nummy ice cream ...
Any advice would be great. Or if you've got any great motivational tips, I'd love to hear those too! Thanks in advance!
