I am new to this board and want to say hi. I can not stand having this crazy disease! I first started having symptoms in December 2003. Nothing is helping with the horrible bloating and wanting to just give up! I know I have gained weight as I can feel it. Please help! There is so much information on this site, while helpful, Im confused as what to do first. I started taking Zelnorm and for a while it worked but now Im back to my not making "poo poos" for days! Any suggestions as to a simple diet plan and in simple english that all can understand? Thanks so much!

Welcome Angel Love!!! I am also a C, and have been noticing a change since starting this diet. It's only been a week, but I'm very quickly learning my do's and don'ts. You really should consider investing in Heather's books. Very helpful. Any questions you ever have, I can tell you that you will get a wide variety of responses. (all more than likely helpful) Don't give up!! I promise things will get better. just keep your chin up! Glad you joined the gang!! Feel better soon!

Thanks....  well tell me this...what have you found, personally, that is a do or a dont? I guess I havent been taking this crap very seriously and just decided to live with it. My doctor also told me to take Perdiem, some overnight stimulant thingy. What cha think about that? Also, with regard to her books...is there anyway to obtain parts of it or something without having to buy it? Cheap I know but I live paycheck to paycheck and am very strapped in my spending.

Do's: Applesauce, plain french bread, potatoes (love em), rice, pasta, chicken, oatmeal, chamomile tea and lots of it.
Dont's: Food with a lot of fats like red meats (brats, hamburgers, pork), egg yolks, egg whites don't work for me either, but egg beaters seems to be ok, french fries (my biggest downfall)
Here's a link for on of the books you should obtain (they're also sold at book stores).web page

Welcome to the boards! First of all, go to the grocery store and buy yourself FENNEL seeds (in the spice section). Brew a cup of boiling hot water. Lightly chop up about a teaspoon of fennel seeds - just to break them up a bit (or use a mortar and pestle). Put ina tea strainer and into a mug of boiling water. Fennel is GREAT for bloating. Next step: peppermint tea. It's a wonder drug. Buy dried peppermint leaves eithe ron this website or at a bulk store. Brew in boiling water.
