Definitely "C". I have been taking Miralax daily for almost 2 weeks now to no avail. :ohwell:

I love your picture, you are absolutely beautiful! :wink: I was on Cymbalta 4 years ago for depression and didn't gain any weight. If you track your calories here, you should be able to avoid any weight gain that is typically associated with anti depressants. The feeling of hunger may be there but you know how many calorie…

I have an appointment with an allergist on Tuesday. I'll be tested for any food allergies but it is a good friend of my boss's and my boss says he will be able to point me in the right direction for my issues. My boss's mother recently passed away from liver disease (cirosis?). She got sick at the beginning of this year.…

"It is what it is" I freaking hate that phrase! :explode: :laugh: So, that is why I am wondering if I should just go back to eating how I "used" to... this all started when I got so serious about what I ate. Because, the thing is, I still have a bite of cheesy potatoes or pasta salad or potato chips when that stuff is…

The bloodwork that was done when I first went to the doctor showed no signs of Gluten Intolerance/Celiac... I know bloodwork can be very inaccurate testing for that. I've seen a colon and rectal specialist and I brought up all of my thoughts: gluten, fructose, leaky gut, I can't remember what else I suggested to him but I…

What does that do for you?

Where would I have that done? I fitness center or....?

Seriously? Like, 75% of your daily calories come from fat? I don't get it... :embarassed:

Well I understand that muscle takes up less space than fat so ideally one would burn fat while gaining lean muscle and possibly remain the same weight but would still be thinner. My problem is that I am not thinner at all, and I continue to get thicker! I did have my thryoid checked - it's fine. Thanks!

Like I said, my IBS symptoms started only 7-8 months ago. I can't imagine going through this for 8 years :sad: I have read that raw fruits and veggies are triggers and you can start your meal with soluable fiber to decrease the "trigger". So, I have been trying that and also peeling/seeding/cooking veggies more often. The…

bump for responses... I too, am miserable. :brokenheart:

I know I've gained some muscle because I can see it and tell a difference in my strength. The problem is I don't think I have lost any fat. Therefore making me wider and heavier... Why can't I burn the fat off? I do yoga every morning also.

What is considered "generous" dietary fat?

Something to consider...

I'm honestly not trying to give up. I'm just wondering if I should incorporate some of my old food habits back in to my weekly diet so when I do eat those things they don't kill me? I KNOW I feel the worst when I eat anything junky on the weekend and it continues into the first part of the week. By the end of the week of…

First, I love the picture in your ticker! :laugh: I went ahead and set my diary to public. It is pretty thorough except I don't count my water. I drink probably more than 120 oz per day. After 120 days of P90X I started to back off a little bit. Since I wasn't losing the weight I thought if I kind of went back to eating…

This is very interesting. I have been wondering if my fat intake has anything to do with my issues because I have my fat set to 20%... which is pretty low I believe. My reasoning for the low fat intake is because I don't have a gallbladder... I do splurge some on the weekends although I have been a lot better about it…

Bump! :flowerforyou:

Just Googling Ground Flax Seed and found out that I DO need to refrigerate it! Something to keep in mind if you start using it. Will be picking up a new bag this weekend.

bump for the websites! Thanks guys! :flowerforyou:

Vet- What are bitters? :noway: I gotta get some more Flax Seed Meal too - I ran out! :noway: I think that has def. made a difference for me since I havent had it this week I can tell!

Another thing I have read is that the old 8 8oz glasses of water a day... IBS-C sufferers need waaaaaaay more than that! At least double that!

I've said this exact thing so many times!! :flowerforyou:

I have IBS with Constipation - so I know exactly how you feel! I am always bloated to the point where if I press on my belly, it is painful. My IBS often causes sex to be uncomfortable :explode: :angry: :grumble: What I have been trying to do is start my meals with Soluable Fiber - oatmeal, brown rice, potatoes, etc... If…

love it! :happy:

bump to read later.

Thank you for THAT advise!! I think I'm just going to get a California Roll...

Most California Rolls I have seen online average around 300 calories... ??

you rock! :drinker:
