Be careful about overdoing it when you eat a meal. There's no quicker way to set off IBS symptoms than to stuff yourself. Stick with small meals and give yourself permission to eat more later when you are hungry again. I was reminded of this the other night when I just didn't want to stop eating. I was so hungry and it was just so very good. Shortly afterward the suffering began. Hours of gastrointestinal distress that could have been avoided by saving half for later. I told myself to stop in my head, but did I listen? Nooooooo.
I guess I need to be reminded of some lessons from time to time.
