Guest guest Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Thea, to answer your question as to why my DR has me on a low fiber diet, is because I have had IBS for going on about 30 years and with this Dr and all the tests that I have had he has told me that I needed to put the good bacteria back in my stomach. The reason why I can't eat salad a lot of the time is because of the roughage. I am also lactose. It is not a good thing to talk about but when I have to go to the bathroom I can not hold it and it is caused by some of the things that I eat. I do not eat processed food as it bothers me. I have had these problems for many years and just want to be health again. I work at our local Wall Mart and I am on my feet at least 6 hours out of the day. I know that I do not exercise like I am suppose to but when I get home from work I am so tired and feet and legs hurt that I have to sit down. These may be excuses but I am in constant pain.I do take Vit D and fish oil. I have to get the mega red tablet as the one I take I have a hard time to swallow it. I have just turned 67 and I also have people at work tell me that I am not that age. My son tell me I don't act my age. I am very active. I have three dogs and take them out to walk most night.I hope that I have explained a little of my situation. I am going to focus on me, even if it means that I have to walk away from things. Again thanks for listening. If you want to ask any questions please go ahead. Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
