Update on Jess' health

So March 26, I had a colonoscopy. I found out I have Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). So now I am on a high fiber diet. I need to get 21-26 grams of fiber a day. I also am writing everything down and keeping track of my fiber and trying to figure out what makes me feel icky.

So far I am doing ok at the fiber. I got pears and kiwi at Costco( pears are high in fiber, and kiwi are just amazing! ).
As for food, Cereal makes me ill, if it is the first thing i eat in the morning. I also don't handle ice cream very well any more. :(

  1. Sorry to hear that. Maybe some lactose intolerance? I know milk doesn't settle well with Johannes first thing in the morning - so no cereal, yogurt etc. Fiber is a good thing, I prob don't eat enough myself!
