I also had um....this is embarassing, but I also had bowel issues they were um...over active I guess you could say. I would go 4-5 times times before noon. It was bad. But since I've started on this change in my life I haven't had any problems with any of it. It's amazing. I'm not always rushing to the bathroom or coughing and staying awake all night from the GERD and I've actually been sleeping on my back. I'm so excited. It's just another good reason for me to stick to eating healthy!!!!  |
Eating smaller amounts and less fatty foods (which are easier to digest) may be part of the reason for your success. I also wonder if the fact that south beach foods are high in fiber helped your digestion as well.,
