Goodbye south beach (at least temporarily)

  • I have been instructed to go on a low residue diet until we find out what the heck is wrong with my digestive system. I go in for a colonoscopy on Nov 22. So goodbye SB for now. I'm planning on still hanging around here cause I love you guys! You are the best supporters ever and I love my SB!

    Wish me luck.
  • U are always welcome! Hope everything gets resolved!
  • Good luck!
  • I've had the exact problem - when I started South Beach and even now I get flare ups. They treat it like Ischemic Colitis. So I've modified SB to include SOME sort of processed food every day or every other day. I am happy to talk to you more in a PM about it. I've had 7 colonoscopies, 4 endoscopies and 4 hospitalizations since 2007...I feel your pain!

    Low residue is not fun - use some SB properties (like cooked vegetables, sweet potatoes not white). Anything cooked is low residue!

    Hope it all works out. Keep us updated!
  • YES! Jenn, I'd love to talk to you through PM about it.

    I was given a low residue sheet to follow strictly until they know what's wrong. I have at least a couple of weeks to eat this way until I know something. I have a feeling I'm going to have to modify SB myself. I've been doing so well since I started SB in June. I've had a few flare ups but nothing like this. This time it's horrible. I had constant flare ups prior to SB, so when I got better after being on SB for a while I thought I might have found my cure. And now this.
  • Lifting my mug in a toast to getting this problem resolved quickly. So glad you are still going to hang out with us though.
  • Best wishes, I hope they get to bottom of the problem and you are feeling better.
  • Best wishes, and I hope you get to feeling better soon!
  • I hope you start feeling better soon!
  • Thanks you all!
