Hi Sandy! I'm so sorry to hear about your mother. You've obviously been through a lot lately, and I'm not surprised it has bothered your tummy. I certainly understand about your nervous stomach. Stress has bothered my digestion for as long as I can remember, so I know how powerful it can be. When I'm stressed out, I try to take as much "me" time as possible to just relax and meditate, read a good book, or watch a favorite movie that can take my mind off things.
I'm also a very skinny person by nature. Since being diagnosed with IBS I lost some weight and right now I'm 5'9 and barely over 120 lbs. But the good news is that I've stopped losing, and am slowly gaining weight back since starting to follow Heather's diet. It can be done! I just fill up on white breads, safe quick breads and muffins, boneless skinless chicken, and soluble fiber veggies like potatoes, squash, and carrots. Granted, they are low fat, but they still have calories, and if you eat enough it is certainly possible to get enough fat to gain some weight. Best of luck to you, and I look forward to seeing you around the boards. Feel free to ask any questions you might have!
