Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Nelly, I now completely agree with you about "acid fiber bombs."

Nelly, I now completely agree with you about "acid fiber bombs." I hope you don't mind me borrowing your term, but it is so appropriate!

Do you consider mushrooms "a.f.b.'s?" I think, they are on the potential hit list.

Now, I know this is a silly & irrelevant post. But I just needed for some bizarre reason to get that off my chest.

Once those hiccups start...I'm in trouble. However, I've got them "contained."

I think, seriously, that a few tbsp. of babyfood spinach is about the only thing left on the "sometimes" and "rarely" list of vegetables. Babyfood mushrooms are seriously suspect, now, too. They are chunky.

Okay, I'm being stupid & childish. I just wanted to let you know that I AM IN TOTAL AGREEMENT with you. You know how Bart Simpson writes lines at the beginning of every episode?
Well...I guess it's me writing the same kinds of lines and programming myself when my mind is at a very receptive and increasingly vulnerable state (i.e. as I get prepare to sleep). I'm not going to be a goof and waste money/time shopping for vegetables, tomorrow. I am surrendering this addiction to green things to the cows. I will sacrifice eating vegetables for the sake of my sanity. Just say no, Kate.

Do you know how many times I've had to invite my mother over for dinner this week just to have someone eat my veggies for me? It's eerie. At least she loves it. And I've been sending my diabetic father lots of carepackages.

Actually, I know why green things are exceptionally more troublesome at the moment & it has to do with taking more anti-convulsant medication for my epilepsy. By the end of the day, all the accumulative pills interfere with any hope of digesting anything remotely challenging or colourful. As long as a fruit or vegetable isn't involved, I'm more or less safe.

Okay, enough idiotic babbling. I accept that my refridgerator will only contain token vegetables for dinner guests, because it's "nice."

Yes, I realize how silly this post is and sorry for wasting your occular energy and attention.

Nelly, thank you for making me feel not so alone & evil for refusing to eat my vegetables. Indeed, we are doing ourselves (& the world) a kindness/favour. Now, please, send me strength & courage to get over the habbit of veggies just because they are appropriate. I have been so brainwashed since childhood. Time to reprogram.

Kate.
