I am IBS with C....gas and bloating....Heather's eating for IBS seems mostly concentrated for people who has D??? Does this diet work for people with C- gas and bloating too??? I do not have IBS D at all...
Thanks

Heather's diet is NOT geared towards D... it works for ALL types of IBS, including C. It does take a bit longer for C'ers to stabilize, but it will happen!

Thanks Casey!! So you don't think that white bread contipates you more?? So just stick to the diet and it will eventually decrease my C-bloating and gas?? Thanks

I think Heather's diet works better on D than C; however there is nothing out there that works any better! C'ers just need more patience and a balance of insoluble and soluble fiber. D'ers in my opinion have it easier.
I have both C and D.

IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!

White bread does NOT constipate you more. That is a myth. Here is a link explaining soluble fibre foods and how they work in the GI system: web page
I know it's confusing. Constipation occurs when the colon gets too much stimulation (from insoluble fibre) and then shuts down. It has nothing to do with the soluble fibre in your diet. It is true that not getting enough insoluble fibre will cause constipation, though.

my worst symptoms are obviously d...because having d sucksssss! but i've seen following the diet plan helps me not have c....and really be bloated, and i don't have gas anywhere near as bad as i use to!!!!! i follow the plan completely, and i have confidence when deciding on my own whats ok and whats not ok when at the store! so i believe it really helps for both!

I think the diet works better for D too. Unfortunately I seem to be a C now. Used to be D for 2 years. And, patience isn't one of my strong points!
I've been on the diet for over 6 months, and still very C, gassy, bloated, and full blown cramps. 
Not sure if this is the diet for me or not. But as you said, what else is out there besides high fiber grain and whole wheat advicates who also stress whole (with peel) fruits and lots of veggies. Don't know how that would go over!
