I was taking fibercon before I started Heather's diet. I was taking only 2 daily. So I upped it to 2 twice daily. THat still isn't very much. So I think the gas increase/bloating has been from a combination of increase in Fibercon, soy, and eating all these starchy foods which actually cause gas from what I've read. I've eaten soy before but not as much.
Yes, having a new baby means you're sleep-deprived. The odd thing is that when my IBS recurred I was starting to get more sleep. You'd think it would have recurred when I was waking up every 2 hours. But I was fine then. It started when I was getting more sleep. I only get woke up once a night now!
No new meds or anything. I don't have any obvious souces of stress in my life. I was more stressed the first two months after my son was born than I am now. Maybe it takes time for the IBS to recur after being stressed out...maybe it isn't immediate.
I'm waiting for my Acacia to arrive. Hopefully it works well for me. If not, I"m going to go back to psyllium husk. I know Heather says it's her last choice for fiber supplement. But it it was I took when I first was diagnosed 14 years ago and finally started getting better. I was IBS free for 12 years until recently.
Yep, I put a whole banana in my smoothie. I seemed to handle it just fine. Now i'm scared to death to eat. All I've had today was 1/2 bagel for breakfast and plain rice for lunch and peppermint tea. So exciting I can't hardly stand it. It's especially hard since I have to prepare food for my kids and it looks so good and I can't have it!
I'm going to try Zelnorm. Have you used it or any other prescription drug?
Again, thanks for everything
Oh, you probably won't be seeing a picture of my kids until i'm feeling much better. BUt thanks for asking!
