Yes, we definitely have some similarities. Morning (first thing) is usually okay, but not always. But like you, as soon as anything passes my lips it's like Russian roulette. What's gonna happen. And the pregnant belly- is probably one of the most frustrating things for me. If you are like me you feel soooooo fat inside that looking in the mirror and seeing that makes me want to cry. As if being a woman isn't a big enough bit*h- add IBS. Since moving into this diet I have gained about 7-8 pounds in a few months which is only making all of that worse. Are you able to lead a fairly normal life?
