Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: REPORTING IN

Hi Everyone -
I've been a major lurker on here for a while now and as I over ate AGAIN tonight I figured I really need to start posting. Let me start out by saying I appreciate this site so much. It's really helping me feel less alone with all this crap (um..

). I've found so many great food ideas and the honesty, support, and candor here is wonderful.
My name's Sarah and I'm a 20 year old full time student. I was diagnosed with IBS two years ago ( mostly C with A...horrible bloating and pain everyday since about I was about 5 years old). I am also gluten intolerant (waiting for blood tests to make it "official") and have been gluten free for six months. Symptoms, C, D, bloat, wind, rumbles, spasms, major fatigue, headaches, body aches, hypoglycemic symptoms, the works. I have been truly obsessed with figuring out how to manage this, it puts so much of my life on hold - Everyday. And as so many of you know, doctors never listen!!
I am also struggling with a bit of obsessive calorie counting...And so I want to find some balance..
Anyhow here's my day

B- Cream of Brown Rice, FF Soymilk, diluted cran juice w/acacia (and probiotics)
L- Rice Noodles, Veg. Broth, egg white and peas (homemade raman)
S- Vegan Burger with sprouts, Homemade tofu pumpkin "pie"
D- small apple, Spaghetti squash w/ homemade tomato/mushroom/green pepper sauce - sooo good! WAY too much! Then three gluten-free cookies whiel I was still stuffed.
This eat till I burst thing always sets me off with bloat and pain but I do it every evening. I've stopped eating at seven PM to put a clear cap on it. Is that a problem for anyone else - to feel hungrier the more you eat? If I don't eat for hours I start to feel weak and sick, but not at all hungry. Its like its all set up backwards!

Well - 1155 calories today. Thanks for reading
