So since my IBS diagnosis I’ve been trying to eat better, but I’m at a loss. Every book I read tells me something completely different than the book that came before. Apparently there are two types of fiber, and everyone thinks something different about which one is more beneifical for IBS sufferers. So I just started eating/taking supplements of both. Yesterday that plan made me very happy. Today it made me very sad. Without going into specifics, I think I achevied a short-term goal and then went above and beyond what was necessary. Time to scale back, perhaps? Sigh. Maybe one day I’ll even out.
In other news, I’m started at work now. I’ve got all the stuff downloaded and was assigned my first project…so now my busy level seems to have gone up a bit. On top of the laundry that never seems to cease and Camper who needs to be held ALL THE TIME lately, not to mention my school applications and even this wee blog- I don’t seem to have an adequate amount of time to get it all done.
I’m not feeling that inspired to write at the moment. I think I’m distracted, a little muddled in the brain today. I think I’m just going to cuddle my son and read some. And avoid fiber. Yup.
Erin, I do not know that much about ibs, but when i had to increse my fiber because of diverticulits {sp} i had the same problem, the Dr. told me to try to do it with extra water and veggies, and fruit. Also to avoid the rebound effect, not to take stuff like metimucil more than every other day. Good Luck Love ya P
