I have a couple questions regarding this... I heard it is best for the digestion to drink while eating a meal however, in the EFI book it says you should wait until after the meal... If you are supposed to wait then how long is a good time frame?

Why is the required water distilled? Are there too many impurities in regular water? I have noticed that tap water can be the cause of an attack and have switched but I was just wondering why water would cause someone to get sick?

Thanks for any and all information regarding these questions!

Depending on the water, tap could be a problem, but it is rare for the home water you are used to to be a problem. When travelling it definitely can be.

Most people find eating to be filling enough and take it easy on beverages at meal times. It is a personal thing I think. If you eat really, really slow and take little sips of water that is best.

"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!
