[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1961873, member: 345386"] SlimLizzy - If you increased your claories from c800 to citrually double that overnight, I wouldn't necessarily expect tummy issues, but I certainly wouldn't be surprised that a person experienced them. Our bodies like to work to routines. In fact our first insulin response when we eat is based on historic eating and nothing to do with what we're eating at the time. That's why eating something different can return a disproportionate blood sugar response. I know we're not talking blood sugars here, but the same applies to digestive enzymes. In your shoes, I would be taking a structured approach to any increase in eating. In fatc, this is what I did when I needed to halt weight loss. Initially I just upped my portion size a little bit. Once I had established that wasn't enough for what I needed, I added a "dose" of cheese. A dose of cheese would be a chunk of cheese. Not half a block, but about 1oz, and stuck with that for a while, then I moved onto adding a dose of nuts, which eventually balanced the weight loss scales. I haven't carried on with the cheese and nuts, but what that strictly structured approach did was to give me consistent results from a consistent effort, allowing me to swap out the cheese or nuts (I rarely eat nuts these days) for more variety. However, if I start to lose weight, as long as I'm eating well, but just haven't had quite enough, then I'll add the cheese back in again to halt it. As I said before, I don't have IBS, but the steatorrhoea evidences itself in similar ways, including needing an assured clear route to the smallest room. If you are seeing your Doc tomorrow, I suggest you ask for a decent broad spectrum blood panel, including an HbA1c. If you A1c is in a good place, you may have some leeway to include a few more carbs, if that helps you manahe your diet. In terms of your planned move, I found France and the tropical French Islands fabulous for eating. Of course there are boulangerie on every corner, but similarly there are charcuterie and delis similarly placed. I think the bottom line is you have to experiment, but slowly. If you adopted your "perfect" IBS diet today, I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't immediately run into issues, based on my earlier statements. [/QUOTE]
