Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Questions about the diet.....

I am not on the diet religiously.....and so far not that bad.
1. I feel good about this diet. It makes sense. I miss junk food. When i stray...I pay.
2.Don't cook your veggies til they're mush.Try steaming them. I don't think you lose the nutrients then. Cook your carrots with rice or your potatos. It gives flavor and i would think the nutrients are reabsorbed into the rice.
3. Trial and error. Eat more SF and add bits of SFS fat and IF at a time.
4.When I am stable, I'll let you know. I feel better when I'm not screwing up. It'll take a while to trust your body though. Even though I feel good, my mind is always wondering if I really do and then I don't feel so good. I have an overactive imagination so I can talk myself into feeling crappy.(doesn't work the other way though)

How long have you been working on this lifestyle? It took a long time for your body to lose it's patience and rebel against the crap we feed into it. It might take a while for the process to be reversed.
Good luck and never give up. The solution for everyone is differant but we're all in this together.
