If you've ever tried making your own salsa with just fresh tomatoes, lime juice, hot peppers and hot sauce, and a lot of fresh cut green onions, you won't miss the real thing after awhile :). It's way less bombastic but still pretty tasty.

I think there's an absolute ton of information out there on FODMAPs but there is a problem with it: the sheer volume is high and it seems unsystematic (ie the "rules" resist easy summary and span multiple categories of foods). It's like, all melons are fine except watermelon, fruit other than stonefruit is ok other than…

You're so very welcome! I don't know what's up with notifications, but I had to search for the topic again to see your responses hence my late reply.

I have had IBS for 11 years. In the last 2 years I started on a low-FODMAPS diet, which is definitely something to try if you have IBS-D; it took me from just-about-nonfunctional to someone who can comfortably exercise outdoors without constantly worrying about the bathroom. I also got bloodwork done last year which…

It seems like the main issue is the intrusive thoughts themselves. You are going to the gym, you have been going to the gym, you don't listen to the downer voice anyway. So why does the negative voice even need a response? What if you just let the comments drift by without a response as if they're overheard chatter?
