Hi there,

I have both kinds of IBS, I alternate between C and D with spells of several weeks where I am fine.

I just started low-carbing 2 days ago. Nothing too radical (the Schwarbein plan) as I am not out to loose weight just trying to get a grip on my eating habits (I am a sugar junkie).

Well, within 12 hours, my stomach started doing this rythmic cramping thing and has continued off and on for 48 hrs now. I have had bad D all yesterday and it is continuing today. The cramps are quite painful.

I am wondering if it is due to the increase in vegetables in my diet.

Any thoughts? Advice? Should I stick with it? The frustrating thing is everything my Mom tought me to eat when I had D is exactly what I am trying to stay away from now (dry toast, saltines, bananas..)

Thanks for your insight.
