I'm new here and have only been eating "Heather's way" for past 2 weeks. So far it's brought significant relief during the daytime from my very severe constipation (for more than 20 years!!!) and its associated symptoms of terrible bloating, tons of trapped gas and a frequent inablity to think clearly or calmly, due to how uncomfortable my abdomen used to always feel before starting this diet.
However, since starting H's diet, I'm falling asleep fine and staying asleep soundly from 10 until 3, BUT THEN I'm having a TERRIBLE time with early AM wakening due to my abdominal symptoms reoccurring starting about 3AM.
Before starting Heather's diet, I usually woke up at 6-7 AM due to abdominal discomfort.Then if it was a good day (happened 1-2x per week with luck!) I'd have a BM after doing some abdominal massaging for 20-30 minutes while on my knees.
Now I'm waking so early ie: around 3 AM every day this past week (and then am unable to fall back asleep thereafter until about 7 AM, but I can't go back to sleep then b/c I have to get up and go to work on M-F) that I'm becoming severely sleep deprived and thus depressed due to the accumulating fatigue, even though I'm having more frequent BMs and my daytime constipation symptoms have decreased alot.
ANY suggestions would be much appreciated and thanks for responding to my post!
