A big mac sounds so good and painful.

Hi Bevrs, I've had almost exactly the same reaction as you.
However, I haven't even tried ice cream. That bothered me
before I even got the bad IBS a year ago. There's something
characteristically different about ice cream and most other
dairy. Unfortunately, I don't know what it is though. -Bob
I agree about ice cream, Bob. I cheat on other things like chocolate sometimes, but I don't know that I'll ever eat ice cream again. I remember being stuck on the toilet after eating ice cream when I was in elementary school, even though I didn't get bad IBS until after college... that's how long it's bothered me. I guess it's just waaay too much dairy. I know alfredo sauce is the same way for me. I guess those are the things we need to give up for good.

Maybe they're just too much of a good thing - dairy + high fat + egg yolks. Sort of an IBS trifecta. 
That's probably why they both taste so darn good, too. (Sigh.) Which brings up the other problem with these two foods, at least for me - it's almost impossible to eat just a little tiny bit.

...it varies from a month or two (mild IBS) to a couple of years. I took 6 months.

I can tolerate most mixed drinks with no problems at all: my favorite though is a bay breeze with Malibu Rum. I thought the pineapple and cranberry juice would give me problems, but I was fine. So on girls night out (like 3-4 times a week ) I know I am fine with that drink!!!!

Hi Sand, I think you hit the nail on the head. That explan-
ation sounds like the answer to me. In the past, I've done
that same thing too, just thinking i'd have just a bit of
a pint, and the next thing I know, It's gone!<laugh> -Bob

It varies. The worse your IBS is the longer it will take. Personally I have had IBS for years and haven't be able to get stable. It's sure frustrating!
Have a great day.

IBS for years and never stable after a year of doing this diet. I keep hoping one day...but that may never come for some of us more severe cases.
At least I know I'm not alone now. Unfortunately for you, though! Are you following this diet?
It is so frustrating!

I stabilised in about three months but didn't cheat for another three. It varies, and depends on sticking to the diet very well, but also getting to know your own body and listening to what it's telling you.
