I refuse to let food rules become my life. It's crazy. I have Heather's books and she says it is necessary to include things like tomatoes and lentils (the easiest bean to digest, per Heather) in your diet. And I am IBS-C so I need IF. Heather lists quinoa as an SF source anyhow. I'm just gonna eat what sounds good, in moderation, and live my life. I have been following "food rules" for over 10 years and I am no better. So, I need to take a break from this website, once again. I do better when I am not obsessed with every food item that goes into my mouth. I'm glad you all found help...but every body is different. I will eat SF before IF and enjoy foods I like. Thanks for the help....but it's not for me, I fear. Heather's site never ever mentioned the FODMAP approach and many have recovered without it. It's become the new fad on this site. I can't afford to restrict anymore foods from my diet. Maybe I am doomed to live in pain. I just can't take the food rules, obsessions, and fear over every food I put into my mouth. I just need a break. Thanks for trying to help and again, glad it helped you. But I have become anxious, fearful, and upset over trying to figure out if what I put into my mouth is gonna cause me pain. I just can't read all these articles with conflicting advice and differing opinions on what foods to avoid and what is safe. I feel like I am going to have a nervous breakdown over all this. It consumes my every waking hour. I have no life outside of researching food diets. For all the time I have spent researching different IBS diets, I should be feeling well by now, and I'm not. So, I give up for now.  Hopefully, I will be able to stay off this site until I am less overwhelmed. According to your posts, almost every food in my house should be thrown out. I can't afford that right now. I need IF or I don't go. I need beans so I can have a bowel movement once in a while. Okay....I'm done. Thanks for trying to help, seriously. I know you were trying to help..but enough is enough for me.For now, at least.
