Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | 2 questions (slightly embarrassing)

Who else is craving fat and protein like crazy? Maybe it is a Northern thing but I can't stop eating nuts, soy ice cream, anything chocolate.
Also I have had this new thing when I treadmill for over 45 minutes, my legs first get itchy and then break out in a rash on my thighs. My husband recognized what is was right away- my thighs are rubbing together somewhat when I treadmill really fast and they get super hot and rashy afterward! How awful! So now I always wear pants to treadmill. I don't think my thighs are that fat- it must be the length of time and the speed that does it. I have noticed itchiness there before from exercise but never such bad rashes. I haven't gained any weight that I know of.

"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
