Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Getting stable....Thank you, Heather!

Hi everyone,

Just a quick update on why I haven't been posting in a while! I'm almost stable!!!!

I've been following the EFI diet with added IF, some lean protein, and not varying my food sources very much.

For the last few weeks, my belly has been agreeing with me more than ever!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!

I have not been overeating at night, therefore, I have not been feeling repurcussions the next day. I feel great!!!!!

I found some crystallized ginger that has helped for nausea. I still eat my oatmeal every morning, and I have found a soup that is all natural and vegan on amazon.com. It is Dr. McDougalls soups. It has a lot of fiber in them, but low fat. They might have a lot of IF in them, but they don't bother me, and don't even give me gas. I even think they are organic. The tortilla soup is really good and the chips in it are baked.

This is what I eat almost EVERY day:

Oatmeal with acacia fiber
Chocolate Soy Milk (I can now tolerate rice AND soy milk so either one)
1/2 cup pure egg whites scrambled
1 Dr. McDougall's soup for lunch
Banana
1 C grapes
1/2 C raspberries
1/2 cup cooked carrots
5oz V8 low sodium
1/2 C applesauce
2-3 pieces crystallized ginger
1 small piece of Dark Chocolate when I feel REALLY WELL.
Sweet potato
Squash
A little chicken
More oatmeal with acacia fiber

Gosh I feel great.

I hope my post will bring some encouragement to those out there that have had so many problems with getting on an even keel.

I have had problems for over 10 years now with not being stable. Just clinically diagnosed this time last year.

I love HEATHER's diet and all her advice has really helped me!!! Thank you, Heather.

Good luck to everyone!!! I'm stopping in lurking in the background from time to time, but my new work position doesn't allow me to get on here as much as I used to.

HUGS to everyone!!!!!!!!
Kappy
