All good points. I seem to be constipated no matter what I eat - and I do eat pretty well. So I use "gush and push" - Miralax and bisacodyl. I know I take too much bisacodyl, but heh, I gotta go......

And some common sense is also required. I eat a bowl of muesli, bran buds, and top it off with Raisin Bran for some taste. The muesli and bran buds are pretty dull by themselves.

My therapist has a fit because Raisin Bran does have much more sugar, but c'mon, I don't use much and it makes the meal much more tasty. Keep the big picture in mind. And yes, for a lot of people with GI difficulties, diet is a real challenge and very personalized.

As if Raisin Bran is the worst thing you could eat! Lol. I agree with you.

My care team and I take like you said a "big picture" approach. All foods potentially have value in some way at specific times and for different people; it just depends on the situation.

I never developed an eating disorder but struggled with food fear/guilt/anxiety when I developed chronic illness because of all of the different ways society and random people on the street, family members, health care providers, etc. were pushing different things to eat or not to eat. Eventually we concluded that the food confusion was one of the contributing factors to my symptoms. It's something I'm still working on. So I'd say, keep toppin' that bowl off with Raisin Bran 🙂
