Oh, Tinkerbell, I feel your pain and frustration!
You sound a lot like me - I'm not sure what your symptoms are, but for some reason, I feel that we're a lot alike. Some things to consider (if you haven't already - I hate to offer unsolicited advice 'cause you know your body better than anyone else), anyway, eating raisins would do me in - any dried fruit has lots of chemicals (natural and otherwise)in it and is very hard to digest. I can't eat grapes at all- actually any fruit with skin - it doesn't digest and I see it come out the other end looking just like it did going in. I can picture the skin sticking to my intestines, clogging things up or irritating the lining so that my motility stops completely. Thud. Then I feel that feeling you described - that you're hungry, but "full". That food is just building up in my gut and not being processed, yet I'm so hungry! I attribute that feeling to the possibility that I have food in my system, but no nourishment. Since my gut isn't working right, it isn't getting the nutrients it needs, so it's still screaming for more. But piling it on just makes me feel worse.
I am sensitive to any processed food - I don't eat anything in a can, jar, bottle, bag or carton. Yeah, it sucks. I cook all my own food. The bright side is that I'm thin and always will be thin because my diet is so pure. As you mentioned, it's wonderful to feel good about your body - at least the way it looks!
I'm very sensitive to wheat, soy (a killer for me and it's in everything), nuts, dairy, caffeine, alcohol, carbonation... I didn't discover this until I was 34 and it changed my life to eliminate the foods that were making me sick. Even though I still have IBS and still have plenty of issues, I NEVER has gas, NEVER have diarrhea.
Okay, I'm rambling now on a Monday morning. Should get to work. Have a great day!
