I *was* doing really well for a couple weeks there. I was eating 950-1000 calories a day, and even on "bad days" I was still getting 700-800, which is a LOT more than the 200 I estimate I used to eat on a bad day. I also managed to work up to 8g/day of my SFS, which has made a HUGE difference in how I feel IBS-wise.
Unfortunately, the good eating came to a halt about 5 days ago, when I suddenly got SO nauseous that I could hardly even function. I thought I was coming down with something, but it turned out to be period-related ICK, and I'm still struggling with it.  I know I'll be back on track with the eating in a few days, but it frustrates me when I have setbacks like this. And it really is all about the nausea - IBS-wise *knocks on wood* I've been pretty much a-ok.
I called my doctor's today, and I have an appointment on the 23rd to see if there's any medications they can give me, for the nausea, the anxiety, or preferably both. I wanted to think I could manage all of this without pills, but I don't think I can anymore.
Eeek, sorry to go rambling on like that. Thanks for asking, Laura and Kelly.
