Hi, I'm IBS-C, too. Like you, I'm very serious about managing my weight. The idea of eating all these carbs flipped me out at first, too. My old diet was only veggies, fruit, chicken or tofu and occasionally some whole wheat or other whole grains. So, I understand the battle ground. Rationally, I don't believe it's possible to gain 3 or 4 pounds in 4 days. For other people, that is. For myself, my fear is that it's possible. So I can hear your story and think more rationally than I would about my own. If I were going through what you are, I would be gripped in a panic of terror that I was going to gain a million pounds and then have to hide my fat self away forever. So. Is it possible that you've gained "weight" on the scale because you're not going to the bathroom? And is it possible that you're not going to the bathroom because you're terrified that the new diet you're following is going to make you fat? Stress affects everybody. I know you'll get through this, one way or another. Good luck.
