Hello!  Im sorry your not feeling well with an attempted diet. May I ask why you are on a specific carb diet? For me, carbs are one of my safest things to eat (bred,rice,pasta) and i dont know what i would do without them! I also see you are on Levbid. I am on Levsin, and the meds are practically the same thing. I used to take 2 a day, but that wasnt enough, so i now take 3-4 a day, depending on how i am feeling. How many do you take a day?

Hi The reason that I'm on the Specific Carb Diet is because I thought it would help me. I'm really not sure what to do because the IBS diet is totally the opposite. It's eating everything that I haven't had for 9 months!!I'm not sure how to ease into the IBS diet, I'm really scared I don't want to give my stomach a scare!I take 2 Levbids a day.Do you have any advice on how I would approach the IBS diet when I haven't eaten bread,pasta & rice for 9 months? Thanks!

Hi The reason why I'm on the SCD diet is out of desperation I was feeling so awful and didn't know where to turn. I was diagnosed with IBS and possible colitis but my symptoms are mainly IBS. Do you have any suggestions for me as to how to start out on the IBS diet? Thanks I would appreciate it.

If you have been classified with IBS you should eat the IBS Diet. It works! I know this! I was really hesitant cause I had quit carbs and quit all carbonated drinks. Anything with refined sugar I knocked out of my diet. I still had attacks even when I did that. I had 3 diagnosises of IBS even though they haven't done a colonoscopy.. I had a hiatal hernia on my intestine when I was a baby and they had to knick it to cut out the hernia, ever since that time I'd had problems with my bowels. When I was young I had constipation and straining, then as I got older it was diarreah and straining; classic bloating, gas, and burping every once in a while.
I have been filling myself with fiber and not only have I found I am losing weight again, but I also have no diarreah, all stools are solid. Heather stated in her book if we did this and it turned out for one whole week your symtpoms have nearly disappeared then we are fine.
We are eating food that will help our cholesterol drop and our sugar either be controlled or lowered due to the fat free content and sugar free content drop. I will pray for you that you find an answer for all your issues. You are in my thoughts and I am sorry you are going through such a confusing time right now.

I would suggest starting by introducing one carb at a time, just a little bit at one meal a day and see how your body reacts. I find rice the safest, as I think wheat can bloat some people, and I can't take too much pasta.
Hope this helps, just take it slow. I would also recommend a soluble fiber supplement to help settle your tummy - if you use the search option to look at previous posts, there's lots of info on the different types.

Thank you I appreciate your prayers. Do you have any suggestions on how I would start this diet.I'm afraid that if I start eating bread etc. after not having it for 9 months my stomach will do flip flops! Thanks!
