Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hello there!! Congrats on having a good weekend too!

Here are the foods I exclude:

dairy
fat (except for tiny amounts in soy ice cream, soy milk, etc)
red meat
cooking oils (unless I go out somewhere then I ask for just a tiny bit)
very little sugar (although I could never exclude it entirely!!)

That's pretty much it!! Doesn't really sound like much I'm excluding but my diet before this was TERRIBLE!!

I would have McDonald's a couple times a week...drink at least one can of coke every day, eat whatever junk was around, etc.

I was 5'3 and 140 pounds!! I didn't look that big but I carried it all around my belly....

Now I'm 130 pounds and feeling soooo much better!! If I lost 10 more then I would be at my ideal weight...but I'm not gonna push it....it's more important to me that I am feeling healthy and happy than to weigh 120 pounds. Like I said previously...losing 10 pounds was just a bonus to this new diet because I didn't set out to lose weight in the first place....

Anyway...I'm blabbing now....good luck with your diet!! Keep up posted on how you're doing!!
