Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: jaime, accountability

I miss your COMMENTS, your input! You are so insightful.

I guess, I'm following your "challenge" to give up "counting" number-wise and focus on FEELING GOOD and being in tune with my body.

I'm not sure how I feel about grains being off them for so long. My IBS-D bowels really like them, though. But they also like veggies safely prepared. I guess different times of day call for different vibrations of nutrition.

Be kind to yourself. Be human, too. I guess we crave different things for different reasons but we have to also keep in mind the effect they have on our bods and minds. I guess there's a difference between bod food and soul food?

I agree, though...counting calories is really antagonizing to some people. Like us? At least at this time.

One quick note/thought re: pb & m&m's. Are you getting enough tryptophan? lecithin? I know that pb and m&m's--chocolate--are sources of tryptophan, an amino acid.
It calms your nerves!!!

Kate, IBS-D.
