IBS..

Now that i've taken gluten/corn/dairy/soy out of my diet...

My anxiety/nausea levels have dropped but i've realized that i'm still having severe IBS pains especially on my left side.  I did citrucel but for some reason citrucel makes me feel worse and more constipated...not sure if it's the citric acid (which is possibly made from corn...) or the sugars that citrucel has..

I know the main ingredient to benefiber is wheat dextrin but i'm going to give it a shot..i've been doing about 20 grams of fibersure (made from chicory root..) but it's giving me severe gas..

Reason I'm so gun ho on IBS and fiber now is a few days ago my parents got me some dates to eat.. wow they're good I went though a whole tub of those things real quick.  Instead of getting super sick after eating all those dates I actually had close to normal bowel movements, and felt quite a bit better!

Now i'm thinking after 4 years of eating soy and having anxiety attacks my system is just riddled with IBS..and maybe i'm not intolerant to corn and wheat or dairy...maybe I am but most likely my system just needs mass fiber and water and needs to be retrained and "stretched out" and given a break basically.  My hands are dry and sitting here at home I feel like I can work but soon as I get out of the house I start having IBS issues...any sort of stress..or if someone comes up to me close and talks to me I start having pains up and down my left side...like knots.. it S U C K S!!

ANyway so on to fiber...off to the grocery store to do benefiber.  I'm so close dangit!! I NEED TO WORK ASAP!
