Right there with you Jen.
I hated those ads the HFCS had on the TV for a while there, trying to say our bodies digest it the same as any other sugar.
It's like you can say anything you want on TV and not be held accountable.
There's books out there on food additives, perhaps you could find one at the library. There might be other additives that are bothering you as well?
I drive my husband nuts, stopping to read all the ingredients when we're grocery shopping. Sometimes even a brand you trust, will change it ingredients with no warning. Usually so they can make it cheaper.
Like I loved Tom's of Maine deodorant, until they got bought by Palmolive. Then all of a sudden I started getting rashes under my arms. I was so mad!
Hershey's started putting castor bean oil in their chocolate, so I made sure I didn't buy any of it last Halloween. ick.
That's wonderful that you found such a simple way to help your IBS!
I'm reading this book that jr recommended to me about pelvic floor dysfunction. Mostly because I think I carry a lot of tension down there now. So anyways, they mention that one of the symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction can be IBS.
It's called "Heal Pelvic Pain" by Amy Stein.
