Hello everyone,I'm new here and starting up the program for the last time to finish it. I have started many times but never finished it. I'm tired of physical symptoms and so I am here to end the suffering. I already cured myself of one nasty anxiety, the worry about being near a bathroom. This is something I have been dealing with since I was a small child. I am now 36 years old and I have been completely free of IBS for nearly 2 years! Here is what I did...
This was all a diet modification, I just simply learned that I have a slightly picky stomach and colon and a lot of nervousness.. Well I'm working on the nervousness, but I still got rid of it completely while still being overly nervous and sticken with panic symptoms.
1) no more sodas or milk, nadda, nil, NONE at all. Just water of any kind and the occasional orange juice (high pulp). (this made me lose 30lbs getting rid of me heartburn and snoring)
2) ate an apple and orange at least once a day (usually two apples a day)
3) eat multiple times a day, no large meals or huge helpings of food. Just kinda eat after ya get up (something small), then a few hours later, and so forth. I think I eat like 5 to 7 times a day. Sometimes nothing more than an apple.
thats it, and let me tell you, I was as bad as you could get! I mean, a HUGE change in my total living, I no longer have to worry about a nearby bathroom, no more nasty bloating and gas, no more doctors and drugs! I mean, I worred about where I drove, I was always thinking of a nearby bathroom. I would literally change my driving route to bring me near a store that had a bathroom. It was awefull, but normal for me, I just kinda lived with it. It was only after I realized that I quit having trouble like that anymore that I realized it was gone forever. I can actually feel a normal "movement" comming on way before I actually have to go and it no longer hurts, I am having a full "normal" erm.. movement without the explosive gassy awefull usual occurance. This,for me,was new and painfull at first hehehe.. 34 years of liquid movements did not leave me very prepared.. ouch!
