Saw the nutritionist today. She has modified my diet for the next 6 weeks. She doesn't want me doing a full elimination, but does want me to limit my carb intake. No more than 60 grams of carbs per day divided into 15 grams per meal - Breakfast, Lunch, Snack, Dinner. I have to keep track and...

I agree! I've noticed a lot of improvement since I started walking a few weeks ago. I aim for a minimum of 10 minutes, but try to go 20. It's a slow pace, about a 30 minute mile, but it works. Then when I get home I do about 20 minutes of through stretching. I believe that is helping me...

Last night and today have not been so good. My IBS is not behaving very nicely and I have been dealing with cramping, gas, bloating, and bathroom runs. I believe it is because of the increased fiber. I see the nutritionist next week and will talk to her about it. It's sad that my body...

I understand money being tight! We live on my husbands social security and it doesn't give us much to play with. Many of the supplements my integrative Dr. wants me to take are having to wait. After pricing them all it would be well over $100 a month! :shock: So, I'm doing the best that I can...

So glad that the supplements are helping you! Have you had your Vitamin D checked? I was taking 5,000 IU a day and my integrative dr bumped it up to 10,000 IU. It takes a really long time for it to build up in your system. I was really low when I first started (13) and after a year I'm still...

Sorry I haven't been keeping up. I've had my grandson here all week and then my granddaughter for a couple days. That, and trying to cook all the time, has left me not much free time lol So far we (husband is also following) are doing really well. I've been to a couple classes that my...

I also have IBS. It predominately D, but occasionally C. I don't take medications for the D either because I too get the opposite problem. Have you tried a FODMAP diet to pinpoint foods that may trigger you? I did that last summer and was able to find some foods that made me worse. That...

Thank you everyone :) Knowing that others are going to be watching to see what happens has given me even more motivation! I've just about finalized my first weeks menu and shopping list. I will be shopping this Friday, prepping over the weekend, and starting elimination on Monday. I've been...

I'm not able to stand for long periods either. I worked a 4 hour shift in a deli a few years ago and I almost had to be carried out. My son had to bring a cart to me to lean over and I was in tears trying to get to the car. I was in bed for a couple days afterwards and of course I didn't go...
