Thanks for the words of encouragement, really means a lot when you just can't get positive! I was feeling so good over the last few days, that I was tempted to post about how great things were going – but was inspired by another poster's 7-months without D and thought I'd better give it more time. Over a week ago I started taking a Vitamin B complex but I checked every ingredient to make sure the tablets didn't contain any sweeteners, sorbitol etc…. I can definitely trace everything I've eaten in the last week, I've planned all my meals around the advice in Heather's book i.e. on the menu tomorrow is 'Maple Glazed Salmon with Nutty Wheat Berries' but I'm now not feeling as confident to try the insoluble parts of the meal – think I will modify the recipe so I can stick with the more soluble fibre until I am more stable. I've been feeling quite calm since I started the hypno and haven't felt as stressed as usual and I've been sleeping better…..maybe the orange was the trigger.

I really hate having attacks as the next day my stomach is bloated and uncomfortable and makes the most awful noises! Also, if I can't trace the reason for the attack, I get anxious that I could get caught short anytime, anywhere. I've drinking peppermint tea, have peppermint caps but am nervy about starting with the soluble fibre supp, Acacia as I think it may make me worse. About 3 weeks ago I started with a tsp once a day, then stopped when I came down with a viral infection. Now that I'm better, I want to start again, but need to muster up the confidence. Ah well, onwards and upwards – will carry on, it's only been a week so I need to give this more time.

Thanks again for your replies – would love to be able to post in the next 6-months with a success story!
