When you say you eat zucchini, do you eat just green zucchini OR yellow zucchini (also called summer squash).
I would think BOTH yellow and green would be safe.
I mean, what's the difference?

He's not really a hunter-gatherer is he, he cooks all his food meticulously, history teaches me that's even further advanced than the diet of most settled civilisations?
but he never ever told me that my symptoms were either from mustard or not baking my own bread, he only showed me the science behind all this, and that e.g. there is IF in spices. As for preparing your own food like that, if you have the time and the inclination (and a good kitchen for it), why not. Don't think it's primarily for his IBS only, but maybe because he likes to know what exactly he eats. There are loads of IBS-free people out there who prefer baking their bread or cooking oats as opposed to microwaving them. I've never done either and never once did Syl advise me that I should or imply that I was lazy/ too trusting of commercial food.
I live in London and we have a blueberry juice drink that has no fibre and no high fructose corn syrup or added sugar in it. This is probably not the case in America or Canada, hence he makes his own berry juice. It's expediency. But he buys orange juice, as it's commercially available...
I myself find it challenging to eat out because everything is usually swimming in fat/ there is too much IF there, it's all to do with science again, nothing to do with additives or non-home cooked food.

I've only ever eaten green zucchini, but they do seem identical to me except for colour, ie think we can eat both.

I'm glad to see somebody else doesn't cook ingredients.
I think there is fine line between trying to prevent symptoms and then being held hostage.
To me, cooking oats, bread, and broth (and fruit juice) is absurd. Nobody should be required to do that, if you can't eat store made bread, I don't see what hope you have.
Moreover, come on, I hardly see how making bread and oats v store bought makes a difference between feeling good and bad.
To me, that seems well above and beyond reason.
Very few people make oats, bread, and juice, they buy because we have lives and cannot live in a bubble.

In answer to some of your comments and questions:
I could give you many books and articles to read on what manufacturers put in the food we eat. Sometimes hidden under "flavors and spices", etc. But, I think I would be wasting by time, because I think you only want to hear what you want to hear.
My tummy can handle any food I choose to eat, because I have put in the time with diet, hypnotherapy, meditation, exercise, and an all-around happy lifestyle.
My attitude...? Excuse me. When you posted as Naturopanic you were banned from the boards, by Heather, because you were rude, obnoxious and just plain out of control. I am sure she would not hesitate to do that again, if needed. I don't care what name you post under.
You ask for help and when people on these boards either offer you the scientific data or personal experience to try to help you, you lash out and beat those same people up. Like I said to you before, take the information that works for you and leave the rest, but don't be such an ass to people who are trying to help you.
When you posted under Naturopanic, it was all about the bodybuilding and how you looked, about how you couldn't throw down a few drinks with your friends, about what you couldn't have, and on and on and on. I remember Little Minnie setting you straight several times. You whined and whined about your life and how you could not do, be, drink, eat, what you wanted. Well, grow up, life is still pretty damn good.
I am not saying you cannot buy food from the grocery store. I AM just saying watch the ingredients. God has nothing to do with a grocery store, man does.
I am not overly protective or paranoid. Who is well here...you or me?
I choose to eat healthy and make some of my own foods because I feel that is the best thing for me. If you don't like it, don't do it, but stop calling people hunter-gatherers or pre-historic, because they choose this. Again, who is well here? Syl is stable and I am doing great. Where are you?
There is not a darn thing wrong with chicken broth, cereal, bread or juice. I happen to be vegetarian so I make/buy veggie broth, I eat steel-cut oatmeal, I make home-made delicious breads, and I juice my own veggie and fruit juices. What the heck is wrong with that?
And finally, I DO NOT make all of my ingredients, but buy plenty from the store. I choose to make my own when I have the time and for health reasons.
I see that Heather has already deleted most of your obnoxious posts, so that would be a good thing. And stop beating up on Syl, because he is offering the advice you asked for.
If Heather deletes my post, I sure hope you read it before she does, because I am tired of you!

AND...he's off and running again.
So you hate cooking???
What I have to say to that is ...so what????
I hate sh*tting my pants too, so if that means I have to cook, then just take a guess at what I am going to do...suck it up man.
You want ALL the benefits but refuse to commit!
Your comment of LIMITING alcohol proves that.
No doubt this post will get deleted like my last one but like Gerikat, I do hope that you get to read it before that happens.
If we are all so condescending then why in the world do you keep coming back under different names?

Has Syl ever condescendingly suggested to you that your problems lie with not cooking/not baking your own bread/cooking porridge the traditional way? (incidentally, you are still cooking oats in the microwave!)
IBS is the bane of all our lives, but it's still better than a lot of other conditions, if you have it under control.
I really am an atrocious cook, believe me. I left an indelible burn-mark on my boyfriend's counter and have ruined a couple of pans and pots. I find it time-consuming and I have often felt that I have better things to do. I hate not being able to eat out. And I can wholly sympathise with you even though I am in an easier position as I have never been a big fan either of alcohol or caffeine or red meat or dairy. I imagine a lot of normal people have a lot tougher time than me if they'd had a normal varied Western diet beforehand...
I cook every three days, then on a relatively grand scale and I then just put food in the fridge and then in the microwave if I fancy before eating. Technology is a godsend...
Cooking for me takes no more than an hour, that is about 2 hours per week and I cook different things simultaneously, but usually two types of food for two big pots that I eat over the next three days. I cook very simple stuff, rice, pasta, fish, chicken, I prepare them in the most simple manner and it tastes delicious. (then again I may just be lucky as I have even before IBS actually liked bland food) You can do most things in the microwave too btw, even rice (probably not pasta though). For chicken and fish, I sometimes just boil it, put it in hot water, simmer for 10 mins for fish, but more for chicken, it really is v easy. I also buy cooked chicken, the one for sandwiches. Again probably full of additives, but highly unlikely that it bothers your bowels.
It's do-able. Or: we just haven't got a choice anyhow. No point complaining at the end of the day.
PS lot of the things I eat and are allowed I guess, like bread, bananas, oatmeal, fruit juice, these don't really require cooking, so you can definitely live like this even if you hate/unable to cook.
