Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: REPORTING IN

I've done seven successful days of Phase 5, so it's on to Phase 6.

Phase 6 is Leave Something On Your Plate. At every meal (not snacks), leave one bite of every food item on your plate.

The scoring ranges for Phase 6 are:
0: Excellent!
1-31: Good

32-49: Fair

50+: Start Again

Here's my actual report:

Phase 6, Day 1
Score: 56 - Start Again

No exercises. These are on hold for a while - I've done something to my right leg and am waiting for some diagnostic tests.

Here are the explanations for previous phases:
Overview, Phase 1, Phase 2
Phases 3 and 4
Phase 5

What I ate:

Pre-Breakfast:
Mug of decaf Constant Comment tea with generous teaspoon of honey
1/2 cup applesauce with 1 teaspoon Acacia

Breakfast:
1 slice of No Knead Bread, toasted with Smart Balance Light
Hard-boiled egg white
Mug of decaf Constant Comment tea with generous teaspoon of honey
One-A-Day Essential MultiVitamin; 500mcg Vitamin B12

AM Snack: I missed this

Lunch:
1 bowl Crockpot Chicken Stew
1 slice of No Knead Bread
500mg calcium from Tums; 200IU Vitamin D

PM Snack:
Food - NOT IBS-safe and I'm not admitting what it was
Beverage - NOT IBS-safe and I'm not admitting what it was

Dinner:
Salmon Hybrid
Yummy Teriyaki Sauce
Small green salad (this may NOT be IBS-safe for everyone): lettuce, deseeded cucumbers, green onions, red cabbage, radishes, mushrooms
Oil and vinegar based dressing (this may NOT be IBS-safe for everyone)
500mg calcium from Tums; 500mcg Vitamin B12

Evening snack: I missed this which is fine; this is an optional snack
500mg calcium from Tums; 200IU Vitamin D

There were also two beverages that were not IBS-safe and not in my behavior modification guidelines. Sigh.

I got 6-1/4 additional teaspoons of Acacia throughout the day, for a total of 7-1/4 teaspoons of Acacia.
I got 58 ounces of fluid which is not enough.
