HI Guerita

you sound just like me, 5 6" irritable bowel, carb cravings. ( only difference is I have about 15 lbs to lose!!!!

Since I started doing SP, the irritable bowel thing has lessened a lot. I still get an odd flareup but that is normally when I go a bit mad on the refined carbs. ( eg just once in the last 3 months, I found myself in McDonalds.....boy did I suffer later that day!!!)

I could eat any amount of rubbishy food, and had terrrible cravings. Now I simply eat 2 squares of dark chocolate with a handful of nuts and I am happy.

When you start the plan and get into it, you will realise that the good feelings are SO good, that you won't want to risk going back to the old ways, and felling bad again.

hope this makes sense!!
