Hi. Thank you for replying. Yes i have been told that its IBS by doctors. I am currently seeing a dietician and to be honest she doesn't seem to be very helpful. All she has suggested so far is eating low finer but did not seem to be familiar with the high SF to help things.
Yes i have tried all of the SFS that Heather has suggested including her own and they just seem to make me feel extremely full and sometimes even bung me up too much and not help.
I do have both of Heathers books and i have read them inside out having SF base meals. But sometimes even those done seem to help. For example the other day i had a meal of peeled boiled potatoes (SF), boiled carrots and chicken breast. I thought this would be a safe meal but it left me bloated, full of trapped gas and loose bowels the following morning.
Some days i seem to be ok but then others I'm not and its hard to know why as i can have eaten the same.
I struggle to eat 6 times a day as i feel SO SO full from the meals i have. i have 3 meals a day and usually and evening snack.
I would love an example of a base line diet plan i could use. I have read Heathers from her books but a lot of her ingredients is very specialised (i live in UK) and i don't always have the time to prepare such lavish dishes. I don't seem to be tolerating many veg or fruits which makes me feel every unhealthy. I maybe have 3 of the '5 a day' on a good day.
You see, as well as having the IBS i also have the difficulty of the anorexia to deal with which makes diet twice as hard. Im battling with myself over 'if its healthy enough'.
Does being at a low weight effect ibs? I just can't recover when i can't let myself eat more and more of what i want. Its feeing the anorexia. But i can't live with this damn IBS!!! x
