What about ibs syndrome?!


Question: I have IBS and i read articles about it all the time. They're always telling me to eat a healthy diet, exercise, and drink lots of water and it will go away on its own. I did do that before this and i still do but it won't go away and my bloating is really getting on my last nerve. HELP!

Have you done an elimination diet to see what foods trigger your IBS??? I kept going to the doctor because I was in pain for months and they said it was IBS (which it is) and that I had to eat health, exercise and make sure I get lots of fiber. Anyhow, the pain never went away. Finally, I went to a naturopathic doctor who got me to do an elimination diet (taking out all possible trigger foods and then slowly reintroducing foods to see what sets it off). Through that I found out what I can and can't eat, and when (i.e., no coffee unless I have a full stomach, and never more than a medium, no chocolate on an empty stomach, NOTHING with too much fiber... something the doctors NEVER mentioned). I hope this can help you. The diet is a pain... not much you can eat at first, but it is sooo worth it once the IBS gets better. Of course, some ppl say they never get better. But I did, so I hope you do too!

Edit: By too much fiber I mean beans (except very small quantities) and All Bran type cereals (which I was eating lots and lots of cause docs kept telling me to eat more fiber, eat more fiber...).
