Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | (show all) WHAT'S YOUR "ASK HEATHER" COLUMN QUESTION?       #108497 - 09/26/04 04:11 PM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA Hello to everyone! I'm turning the tables in this week's newsletter, and asking for everyone's suggestions for issues they'd like to see addressed in upcoming "Ask Heather" columns. Virtually all of the past columns have come from questions I hear asked over and over again, but I'm always open to new ideas, so let me have 'em! Please post your question IN THE SUBJECT LINE of your reply to this message. A single sentence is best, and please remember that questions have to be applicable to lots of other folks in order to be a good choice for the column. Some examples that have already come up for future columns: Pregnancy, Hormones, Menopause and IBS Men and IBS All About Gluten Low Fat vs. Fat Free Diet Issues Eating Disorders and IBS Feel free to second any of these suggestions, or offer up any of your own! Please note that I won't be able to answer these questions right now on the boards, I'll just be addressing the topics as future "Ask Heather" columns.

Target for daily dietary fiber is 25-35 grams MINIMUM, of which 1/3 should be soluble. Your SFS would count towards this daily amount, though it's not a bad idea to NOT count it, as most people get far too little fiber and you want to aim for as much as possible (within reason, of course, and also within the limits of what your IBS will allow). Slow and gradual are always good things with fiber and IBS. - H -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.

I did find a couple of things that I thought might interest you. Aspirin, ibuprofen and even vitamin C tablets can irritate your GI mucosa. Aspirin is a salicylate. Heather says: Menthol and methyl salicylate are the main active ingredients of peppermint, and they both have powerful analgesic (pain-killing) properties. It'll be interesting to see what Heather says because I'd like to know too. Teresa Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Why don't doctors think there is a food/IBS connection?

I know they are intelligent people. Why do they flippantly disregard your diet change ideas? Why are there no documented studies to prove or disprove that this diet works? How would doctors respond to the soluble fiber and diet change links to helping IBS sufferers? I always get the feeling from the doctors that it's a psychological issue".... well if you believe it works for you... then you can stick with it."

I know they are very intelligent, have had tons of schooling, and want to help people. I just truly want to understand their reasoning behind thinking there is no correlation to the food we put in our digestive track and IBS, a digestive disorder. It seems there must be some ideas in their collective thinking that makes them draw these conclusions. Again, have there been any studies that the medical community have done to show there is no link?

I do get it but not as much as I used to before I went to low fat foods. Hopefully someone can explain this fullness/nausea. I would be interested in eharing the answer myself.
