Always Starving!

Let me begin with background: I was diagnosed with Intehepatic Cholestasis of pregnancy with my first. I was hoping to avoid it this time around but on Thursday I got the call from my OB that my blood work had come back and my bile salts and liver enzymes came back elevated. So I was diagnosed with ICP again and started medication and a very low fat diet Friday.

I have literally been starving since then! Fat is one of the major nutrients that helps you feel full and stay feeling full. I've been trying to compensate for the lack of dietary fat with extra fiber (also increased soluble fiber particularly to help bind up fat and block absorption of some fat, and to help combat medication side effects). It's helping some, but man being pregnant and starving is awful! We don't eat terribly to begin with, but a lot of our food options that are in the house already have healthy fats in them.

Sorry this is so long, I needed to whine a bit and my SO is getting sick of hearing it lol!
