I
like to talk about poop. Today’s Weigh
In Wednesday is brought to you by IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and how it’s a
pain in my ass. (Sorry if it's too much information, but it actually I think needs to be mentioned this week!)
I
have not pooped since Saturday. That is
four days. Well, technically I pooped
today but it was tiny and not really worth noting. I am distended. (I enjoy that word better the bloated, maybe
as every fucking time I write a blog entry I am mentioning bloat) It looks like I have gained twenty pounds but
really its two pounds, I am assuming its poop waiting to come out. I feel as I am quite literally full of shit…
however, I have no cramping … yet. Last
night I hate a huge handful of prunes (I actually truly love prunes), oatmeal and
I drank my weight in water. (I always
drink about 16 servings of water in a day, yesterday I was up to 22 I believe.)
I think that’s why I pooped a bit today.
For breakfast this morning, I had Danone Probiotic yogurt to get things
moving.
When
I was first diagnosed with IBS I had just turned 25. (If you aren't familiar with it, it's not life threatening or anything, jut a major inconvenience.) The first few years of my
IBS, I had diarrhea, a lot. Like every
day. It was not pleasant. Then in the last year or so, I have had
little to no diarrhea flare-ups, now I am experiencing constipation more then
anything. But it’s definitely spread out
more then my diarrhea days. I just would
eat a few apples and have some oatmeal and the next day, no problemo. The last few days are definitely out of the norm
for me. I would hazard a guess it was
all of the rich Chinese Food I gorged on last Saturday.
It’s
frustrating that I am really good all week, and have one huge cheat meal and I
am up two pounds. I realize poop is
involved in this, but still. So much for
my losing weight this week.
Killer Buns and Thighs will be the death of me. I do however feel I can see a difference in my thighs and rump already. And my husband is still doing the Shred with me. He says he can't see an improvement in himself but I can see it in him. He looks a bit more toned and his stamina in the workout has definitely improved! Yay for my workout buddy!

Recently I have been trying to drink Kefir every day which is practically like a yogury, about 2 hours after I always end up in the bathroom as it removes a lot of the stuff my body doesn't need. If you like greek yogurt it tastes like that, I get strawberry it's my favorite. Not sure if it would help but thought I might suggest it, I get it at Publix next to the yogurt.

Thank you :)
DeleteIBS is tough, because you have to find that fine balance between foods that healthy and foods that are healthy and not produce so much gas/constipate you :(
ReplyDeletedo you drink lots of water? i eat tons of fiber every day and i have to make sure that i drink lots of water or i'll get backed up. btw, i read that those with IBS should avoid gluten and apples (beans too) as those are the bigger offenders when it comes to gas production.
i also take a probiotic pill (i like Udo's Choice Super8 Adult Blend) which also helps combat gas/bloating. you can find them at the health food store in the fridge.
I drink lots of water, but I seem to lack in the fiber department sometime. I will have to be more diligent in that in the future :) I will check out the probiotic pill next time I am out, thanks for the suggestion and the info! :)
