Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: I have a quick question...

Hello and Welocme! Your menu sounded GRAT! If you are prone to D becareful with the bowl of lettuce. Eating insoluble after soluble helps, but it can still cause D if you are not stable. Most people prone to C can handle a little more insoluble than people with D.

I understand your concern about weight gain and carbs. I recently lost about 30 pounds and have now gained back about 10 of that. I don't believe it is all due to the diet, I haven't been working out nearly as much as I was. because this diet is so low in fat most peole actually lose wieght, not gain it! I know many girls on this baord are losing weight. Most of them have cut out sugar and a few bread. But you need soluble fiber (rice, pasta, etc) to keep your colon stable.

If your concerned about too many carbs try switching your bagel in the am to oatmeal, less carbs and most people tolerate oatmeal just fine. you menu really does sound good. Keep it up! Add in more exercise and lots of water to help with the weight gain issue! In fact several girls are also doing this diet in conjunction with the weight watchers program. Have you checked that out?
