Poor thing. I know exactly how you feel. I was all excited almost a week ago - I felt ALMOST NORMAL. Now I'm back to being C again (3 days and counting...), even though I'm doing everything right, and the pain is almost nothing compared to the mental beating this is giving me. It really sucks that we can't stop thinking about our insides for ONE FREAKING DAY and just LIVE, isn't it?
I've been doing this for almost a month now (I started before I'd reg'd for the board), and a lot of days, the only reason I feel like I'm sticking to it is because my boyfriend keeps telling me that HE can see improvements in how I'm feeling. But thinking about it, I guess he's right. I haven't had D (my main problem) in... huh, I guess it's been almost 2 weeks, imagine that.
Anyway, enough about me. I figure that a lot of what we go through the first few months is our bodies adjusting to this new way of eating. It IS a pretty big adjustment, even if you go slowly. Patience isn't my strong point, either, especially on the bad days, but hang in there... I have a feeling the end results will be worth the hassle.
And if you figure out how to safely get things moving again, let me know. Hehe.

Just throwing some *hugs* your way...
