Newly diagnosed with IBS

I just got a fairly definitive diagnosis of IBS. A friend of mine back home in WI has the same condition and she directed me here. Any general tips? Some of the foods on Heather's "to avoid" list don't always bother me. Do trigger foods vary from person to person? (For example, I can have peanut butter and some alcohol doesn't bother me.) I'm really new to this and when people ask me what IBS is and i explain, sometimes I don't think they take me all that seriously...like it's something in my head.

Any advice would be appreciated. I'm really glad to have found this place!

I would avoid the foods on the trigger list. You'll often find that something might not bother you right after eating but can cause problems later on. It's best to avoid them completely. Some people have a higher tolerance to fats etc than others as well. It can also depend on how much you eat and if you eat it with soluble fibre or not.
