YES it is! However I do have D, probably because I am not getting enough fiber. I have been eating oatmeal for breakfast, however on the weekend I made egg whites and potatoes. Lunch is usually grilled chiken or turkey and white rice. Same goes for dinner. I've thrown in a sweet potatoe and a few other veggies, however I know I need to add more fiber. I am eating a banana now while I wait for my oatmeal. For lunch I have a gluten free soup from a restaurant that has a gluten free menu. Def less gas and bloating, however I do have D now (which I'd rather deal with)

to hear that it is making a difference.
Increasing your SF could make a difference to the D. Were you IBS-C, IBS-D or IBS-A before you started the low fructose diet?

I've noticed that many organic products add fructose instead of refined sugar to their products. These would not be ok.

IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!

the first couple of days it was D
then for a few days C which right after I went it was D
now I'm C again.. could it be from too much rice? i've been told it's "binding"

They recommend strickly adhering to the diet for at least 6 weeks before starting to experiment with other foods.

wow.. 6 weeks seems like forever..
any ideas to spice things up a bit? i'm still very unsure about what is safe..
i've been eating oatmeal for breakfast.. i found a quick cooking one that doesn't have any other ingredints that has a much better consistancy than the steel cut oats..
i usually have a banana for a mid morning snack
for lunch grilled chicken or turkey and rice or chicken rice soup
and for dinner.. the same.. sometimes i substitute a potato or sweet potato for the rice.. however i have been reading conflicting info saying sweet poatoes are a no-no as are all fruits! really adds to the confusion..
i really do feel so much better.. the D and C seem to be hiding their ugly faces and the gas and bloat has been reduced SIGNIFICANTLY!! I haven't eaten any wheat and I am wondering if its too soon to add that in. I think it was you Syl who said 4 slices of bread per day? I would love to have some bread..
