i hate that!! i used to take citricel when i lived w/my parents and my dad went on this "healthy kick" i found out he had been using MY citricel which Ireally needed b/c HE overindulged a few times! he didnt even have any ibs problems--he just overate! i was so mad!
sometimes its hard to keep up with my diet but i try my very best. changing to a vegan diet has really helped. i hated looking thru all of the ingredients since there were always so many and then some additional ones that just didnt need to be in there. i still check food labels like crazy though but i dont have to expect preservatives or anything unnatural. my BF is also a vegan and we both like to cook so for us its really alot of trial-and-error for our tastebuds. and we both eat alot of the same things so shopping is easier when i lived w/both of my parents it was hard b/c my dad was more focused on healthy-thin rather then healthy-healthy. my mom is incredibly supportive of my new diet and helps me thru everything with my ibs. shes actually been helping me with it when i first began problems ironically at 15! if you ever have any ?s about food tips or recipes feel free to ask me! we have tons of vegetarian cookbooks and know alot of quick dishes by heart. also check out VeG.WeB they have alot of vegetarian/vegan recipes that are really easy and can be altered to your diet needs! it was wonderful talking to you!! looking forward to seein yah on the boards
