I guess it reset and cleared everything since twice in a row my bio was too long and i had to chop it. Hah, I can be long-winded a lot. Thanks for reminding me about the location thing, else I prob wouldn't have checked.

Hi Sommer, Don't freak out this IBS thing does get easier! It's like going back to school or something - you have to relearn how to eat. But once you do, this diet is very satisfying and you won't feel so deprived of foods you can't eat. And most importantly you will feel better! Most of the food you will be buying now is not any more expensive than the food you were already buying. So take your time reading this site and then maybe re-reading some things again and you'll get it. I found Heather's book to be sooo helpful and if you can find a library near you. Good luck and keep posting and don't spend any more time staring at pizza that's cooking!!

While we are on this topic I'd like to
know if it's safe to eat artichokes
and asparagas. I thought they were on the
no no list but then I saw some recipies
with them included.

Hi sugar! I know asparagas is mostly insoluble fiber, and I think artichokes are too. But the reason you saw them in recipes is probably because, like most other veggies, they're okay when they're fully cooked and with a soluble fiber base.

Hi Val,
See page 31 of "The First Year." Heather says, "Sulfur-containing foods (garlic, onions, leeks, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, asparagus, and Brussels sprouts), in addition to their high amounts of insoluble fiber, also produce significant gas in the GI tract and this can trigger attacks. As with all other fruits and veggies, however, these are extremely nutritious foods with significant health benefits, so they need to be treated with caution but definitely not eliminated from your diet."
I can't help you with artichokes; I can't stand them, so I never bothered noticing whether or not they were even mentioned.
See how I am?

Thank you all for your help. I guess pasta
and asparagas is the way to go.
