Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | thanks, jaime--I'm okay...

Do you ever go through phases where you put your IBS on "ignore" or live in not exactly a state of denial, but a kind of divorce between reality & desire?

I'm just being a diet coke head who is eating too much rabbit food (salad/lettuce/raw greens) & drinking an obscene amount of caffeine. I'm sneaking in some dairy & egg yolks here & there--my brain seems to be screaming for it. I'm chewing sugarless gum which I know gives me D attacks after a certain quota of pieces. (Yikes, I discovered Juicy Fruit
green--my new favourite!)

I'm not smoking, though.

Have you ever been in anorectic survivor dork with ibs mode?

So mostly I'm vegging out to the point it gives me D.

I'll get over it. It's an "off the wagon" in terms of IBS eating, not nutrition in general. If there were a rational explanation I'd pro-offer it. I know that peer pressure is an issue, but NOT an excuse. It's a kind of not caring about even being careless mode.

Nevertheless, I know I'll feel beyond "poopy" enough, figuratively speaking & in agonizing pain consistently enough to get back with the program.

Kate.
