Hey everyone -- I'm having a very hard time trying to pack in the calories since I technically have IBS. It hasn't been diagnosed, but I've done the whole mainstream medical thing and that's what they would've diagnosed me with if I kept going back. Admittedly, I haven't had any success trying to figure out what it causing problems for my own body, so (in retrospect) trying to gain weight by eating more was a stupid idea, since I get constipated just about all the time. Anyway, I've been eating every 2.5-3 hours, about 5-600 calories. Mostly fruits, vegetables, nuts. I don't eat meat very often, I don't eat any dairy, and I only drink water & tea. The past days I've been dead solid bloated. So bloated I have a hard time falling asleep at time. It's bloating that never ever goes away, even after a bowel movement, and it doesn't give me any gas. It's just perpetually annoying. I figured I'd ask to see if anyone accommodated for digestive issues + was still able to eat more and gain weight. Or, for that matter, if anyone was able to fix their IBS at all -- I suppose if i can fix it, then I can keep those specific dietary recommendations and go ahead to eat more. Cheers, Alexander
