As far as they IBS diagnosis, I have been given that diagnosis by a few doctors. But I do also have other things going on that may be contributing to my problems...like delayed gastric emptying and a nonfunctioning gallbladder and gluten antibodie. The doctors have not been very helpful with these results and really don't know how to advice me on these points. See, I had anorexia/bulimia for 15 or more years...so it's hard to know what is IBS and what, if any, of these factors were caused by my Anorexia...or if there is even a way to treat them, if they were caused by a long term eating disorder.
As far as an AD...I am on Prozac. I've been on probably 7 different ADs...but my body either doesn't respond to them, or I cannot tolerate the side effects.
I have not starte hypno yet, but plan on it.
Thanks for caring. Are you suggesting I quit this diet and try something else? Not that Heather's diet doesn't work for many...but do you think it is time for me to call it quits on this for my own individual situation? Or don't you want to say? What would you guys do if it were you? Move on or keep plugging along?
