I have been reading this site for a while and learn alot but all that i have taken in does get confusing. From what I understand I should start out with the book efi first??? and it will put me on a strict eating? Does the book teach you how to incorporate things back into your diet. I am ibs d i have ask a couple of questions and you have help but there are probably trigger foods that i cannot pin point because sometimes iam good and sometimes iam not. So would you say read the book first it will explain what to do?
I think I am having problems with water it sound crazy but why would that bother me. Iam sipping room temp but as soon as I start drinking my stomach doesn't feel the same. But I guess first things first from what I understand start with the diet and go from there.
Thank you so much for this site and your help, I still don't feel confident yet, but Iam only doing the fiber right now, so hopefully once i get on the right track maybe I won't be afraid to go out to eat or travel hope that day comes. Are you guys eating out at restaurants and how do you know what to order? thanks again for all your help.

Let's see,
First, there is a wealth of info in the book, EFI (recipes, what to eat when you can't eat anything, supplements, soluble and insoluble foods...etc.).
Second, you might be swallowing air when you drink water. And a lot of people have trouble digesting there food when they drink a lot of fluids at the same time as eating. Many people leave about half an hour on either side of meals w/o fluids and drink just enough while eating to make it comfortable.
Third, I rarely eat out but when I do I simply explain that I have a very strict diet and need my food prepared a certain way. You can just say you have food allergies, it's easier than explaining IBS and they'll never know. There is also info on how to order out in EFI. I'd wait until you're confident about how to eat properly before eating out, though.
Did I miss anything? Just ask if you have more questions.

You really answer my questions thank you i will read the book and go from there, as far as the water situation it's even when I am not eating and drinking the water alone, hopefully I'll find the answer to that. Thanks again
