Got Insolubles?

Rachel, have you been taking in any insolubles? Veggies? What about fruit?

I'm not a C -- never have been -- so I can't be much help in that department, but I have a few suggestions that should help:

1. Blueberries! Yep, blueberries. I love these things, I can never get enough (especially wild Maine blueberries). However, they give me the runs -- BIG TIME! And I certainly don't need any encouragement in that department. I eat them because I love them so much, but I have to be extra cautious and eat them very sparingly.

2. Broccoli does the same thing for me, but it also causes me to cramp something terrible, so I avoid it like the plague. If it doesn't cramp you up, give it a try; it should make you go -- but be sure to have a soluble fiber first, and also make sure the broccoli is cut up and cooked 'till well done.

3. Last, I have to comment on not eating for an entire day. It's not a good idea. I really can't go 12 hours without eating, or it will definitely trigger an attack. I have a problem in the mornings because I'm never hungry, and if I'm not hungry I don't wanna eat. Makes sense, right? Well, I discovered that I'll definitely have an attack if I don't force down at least a little piece of toast with my morning SoyFee. Can you tolerate whole wheat? I'm one of the lucky few who can, so my toast is always whole wheat -- also good to help with that pooping!

Whine all you want, Rachel. That's what we all do here. And we're good at it, too!

Bev
