Hi Kaybee,
Colitis runs in my family but I'm so grateful that I only have IBS. My heart goes out to you!
Hang in there re: weight gain. I'm here if you want a support buddy!
Hugs, Meg

Mint Magic is by Celestial Seasonings. Here's a neat tool on their website to find the kind you're looking for in your area. Celestial Seasonings Store Locator I don't think it lists all the stores you can get them at, but you can get a general idea.
Good Luck!

Hi - I think you've hit the nail on the head. You didn't change your diet drastically and eliminate the high fat foods, you just added the soluble fiber foods like rice and pasta. So you got a net calorie gain. Your ideas for the complex carb foods and portion control will probably make a good difference.
For the long term effects of Atkins, I'm waiting for studies too. But there is already hard evidence that too much protein (especially animal protein) stresses the kidneys and bones, so I'd be concerned about that. It will be interesting to see more studies - if I come across new ones I'll definitely post them.
