I will succeed!!!
Morning lovelies.
Well, I changed doctors after getting nothing but 'come back if it keeps bothering you' and what a difference!
I had bloods taken yesterday and she has listed a bunch of other tests to do in the next few weeks. But, this is to eliminate other possibles to see if her feeling (and mine) is right that it's IBS.
1 - I get worse pains when stressed
2 - I get worse pains after coffee
3 - my *cough* system is messed up
4 - I have felt tired and cranky (more than usual )
5 - I have been uberly bloated for weeks now
So...if she is right and it is, she said I follow a certain diet. I googled what to not eat and got the following:
Foods to Avoid
Carbohydrates
Avoid foods high in fast releasing sugars such as unrefined grains, confectionary, cakes and biscuits. Avoid raw vegetables, salads and raw fruit.
Fats
Avoid saturated fats from red meat and dairy food, as these tend to exacerbate the symptoms of IBS.
Proteins
Avoid protein from red meat and unfermented dairy foods as these tend to be inflammatory due to the saturated fat content.
Fluids
Avoid stimulants such as coffee, tea and sugary carbonated drinks.
So...how does anyone else work this with SW? I am happy to avoid a lot of that...but the killer is the raw fruits and veggies!!! I know veggies are mostly cooked, but my snacks are usually fruits and carrots sticks etc. Isn't it bad to replace with too much bread/other carbs? Gah!!!
Help!
