Here's what I ate. Note: I follow a different diet than Heather's for personal reasons. Also note that I am in no way shape or form "knocking" Heather's diet. We all eat/live in accordance to what works most effectively. AND, things are always subject to change.

fatfree organic yogurt

more fatfree organic yogurt

shrimp fluff poached in egg whites (very decadent)

organic chicken broth

baked chicken boob with tons of sea salt, sage & thyme.
3 roasted organic asparagus spears (I used frozen); 2 dessert spoonfuls of organic homemade babyfood spinach. 4-5 bites of mixed organic salad greens without dressing.

more organic fatfree yogurt

peppermint lavender chai (definitely good for post attack cramps!)

green jasmine tea (very weak)

Feeling much better. Took lots of Immodium & simethecone for D and the gassiness that always follows one of those evacuation attacks. I am aware that the use of dairy is highly controversial among IBS'ers. It did not disturb me, but rather made me feel better. I'm not recommending it though. I did take enzymes and a handful of Beano for my token green things. No gas attacks. Honoured limitations.
Required much rest & fluids, today. Consumed lots of sodium. Feeling much more mentally better. Still working on that programming re: eating my veggies. It will take time. Honoured my limitations.

UFO coffee and sugarless gum.

***note: I have osteopenia & my MD wants me on a very high calcium/ vitamin D diet. ***

Less than 7 farts--and mostly just air! No D, today. Hurray! Looking forward to being on hiatus from D, or an exotic C spell. Seriously, I hope I don't poop for at least a week. Also considering a meal replacement/protein shake thing. I'm just getting sick and tired of eating food.

Kate, IBS-D.
