How are you feeling today ? I am sorry that I overlooked the post about not going for 3 days.....are you feeling any better?
Did you start the Citrucel ? I used it for 2 years after the birth of my daughter in 1997 and found it worked well IF I drank a lot of water. My IBS went full throttle after her birth and I needed major help. I was able to stop it after 2 years but it helped at the time. That and stool softeners. I finally stumbled upon a book called FIBER MENACE (try amazon) and it started me on the road to health again and I stopped the Citrucel.
RE: Knowledge about eating and informational overload: Yes, I know enough to be dangerous to myself. I have often prayed to be 'unbrainwashed' about what to eat/not eat. That said, yesterday I did not eat poultry/seafood/ meat/rice/ and had a low-carb tortilla with low-fat refried beans and a small amount of lowcal/lowfat homemade buttermilk ranch dressing for dinner. Totally easy - no bloating/cramps, etc and this morning I went to the bathroom like a normal person. Yay ! It is counterintuitive for me to do that but I am finding when I break my own 'rules' I feel better and my poor body performs like God intended it to. That has been a major hurdle for me to overcome!
So, beans - yes. The only thing I had yesterday that was problematic was a little bit of garlic powder in my dressing. I need everything BLAND !
Okay, off to my run. Hope you are doing well today !
