Yeah I remember when you posted that re: your OBGYN. That's really offensive, in my opinion. Happily that's never happened to me though my parents do tease me from time to time for being so obsessive with my fitday-ing (my bf does it all the time too, for fitness reasons more than anything, so we're 'in it together', lol).
Really, I don't think people understand how much you have scrutinize what you eat when you have IBS. You have to pay attention to EVERYTHING that goes into your body, every little ingredient. I sometimes wish I could go back to just eating whatever whenever, but I can't. I actually really started to doing fitday specificially with the goal of getting my eating in order and planning what I would eat each day, seeing how much fat etc... to control my IBS. Control is a big thing I think - feeling in control of my body, which, with IBS is something I don't always have. So if, to get that control, I need to write down everything I eat and plan what I'm going to be eating every morning, then so be it. It may look like an ED to some, but it's what I need to do to stay attack-free, so let others think what they will
Beets shouldn't cause C at all. While I've never used them as an SF base for a meal (I usually have them with rice or pasta or a potato or something) they *are* an SF food, so they won't hurt - and they will probably HELP! So feel free to eat up!
Haha I totally know what you mean about the license thing...! No one ever believes me at clubs or liquor stores etc. that I'm over 19 (which is the age of majority here!) Seriously, the clerks at the liquors stores always write down all my info because they all believe that my ID is fake - so embarassing! lol
