Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | The truth about eating...

Hi all,
Don't fear, I am not gonna go food crazy just 'cause my doctor told me it was okay to. In fact, when he said that to me, my immediate reaction was I just thought, "No, that's not true" and didn't even consider running out of the hospital to the nearest McDonalds to eat some cheeseburgers and fries (though I would admittedly kill someone for one... mmm... Ooops, sorry, side tracked there...) It was only when we left the office, and I realised my boyfriend had really latched onto that. I think he doesn't really understand all the diet stuff, and he has sort of been waiting for someone to tell me that this diet I am on is over-kill and to stop. It does cause problems with us, as he wants foods I can't have, or eats things in front of me that I'm not allowed and I get upset.. I said the same thing I said here, that I would try and add some stuff in but I was going to stick to "the basics" of what I've been doing, at least until I am feeling back to normal (and who knows when that will be???).
Okay, so last night we went to the store and I bought a cookie with smarties in it and ate it after a safe dinner.. Today I had one ALMOST normal BM, and then one closer to D.. but not liquid like it has been lately. I think those chewable things are working.. or maybe I am just feeling less anxious 'cause I think I've find someone to help me.
Besides, I lost 15 pounds on this diet and I like the size I am now. If I went back to eating the way I was before (Which was baaaad), I'd balloon right up!
