So once you have multiple children your trying to care for, suddenly your diet gets put on the back burner and although I have always been a "good" eater, love yogurt, don't drink hardly any soda, occasionally like a sweet tea, love salads, etc. I have noticed since I hit the ground running now that I grab and go throughout the day. For someone with IBS this can mean the difference between pain and no pain. I have always had issue's with wheat in the past but since so many breakfast foods have wheat in them have such a hard time avoiding it. But after several weeks of pain and discomfort have committed to a "cleanse" yes I know call me crazy this comes at a time when there will be mass amounts of sweets at my house for Halloween. I plan on avoiding wheat products, taking a probiotic and having minimal dairy for a week to see if this changes things. I hate that I have this issue but I know we all have our ailments…the past few weeks combined with a flu have been extra difficult but I know there is always someone going through a much harder time than me and I try to find things to be grateful for which for today was going to the library for a costume parade with my girls and then eating a grilled chicken breast salad for lunch-yum! I'll let you guys know if this helps my symptoms…also if anyone else has this issue please let me know how you cope with it.
