Carbs are a lifesaver for me, but I know I will gain weight at the same time I feel better!! I used to have constant D, about 10-20 times a week, every week, since I was 12.
Now that I've slowed down my metabolism to where I have 0-7 D episodes a week, it stands to reason that I would gain some weight as a result. I'm 33 and about 175 pounds, but I can hide it a little at 5'11".
I hope to get to the point where I can eat less and still feel good. But my main focus is regulating my D and the pain/anxiety/stress/depression which goes with it. It's so hard eating just to survive (as opposed to eating for pleasure, or dieting to maintain a figure) but it goes to quality of life.
And I've sacrificed decades of quality of life to this evil IBS and I'm detirmined to get some of it back. Life is full of change, and I've been size 00, and now I'm not! Big deal! Now I can get out of bed!
