Pages: 1 | 2 | (show all) Fat problems       #364426 - 04/22/11 11:46 PM Edit Reply Quote SarahT Reged: 04/22/11 Posts: 10 Hi, I am in the process of trying to read as much as I can on these boards to learn. I bought the IBS recipe book, but now realise I need the First year book to understand more. I have been told I have IBS, just because I think they don't know what else to say about my symptoms. I don't really care about the label, just feeling well. I've tried so many things over the years, read so many books. I do know fibre is a problem, but I just want to calm everything down now. I had read so many good things about coconut oil being good, but a couple of days on this has just lead to a horrible ibs attack, so I am not on the right track with that. I have read fat is a trigger, but I also have endometriosis and want to help my hormones with good fats. Are they ok to have, fish oil capsules? Fat in the past has helped my bowel. But I am very confused and overwhelmed at the moment with all the information. Are you able to clarify the fat we can take? I currently feel at my wits end with all this and I have run out of ideas of how to be well. I really hope this will give me some answers to my health problems, because I am nervous of most food. Many thanks Sarah ps. Do you ship supplements to the UK?

They should be monounsaturated and contain essential fatty acids, so choose fat sources such as olive oil, canola oil, avocados, finely ground nuts, fatty fish, flax oil, etc. Because all fats, even heart-healthy choices, are still potential IBS triggers, please follow the Irritable Bowel Syndrome dietary guidelines detailed in How to Eat for IBS." 1 gram of fat/oil contains 9 calories and 1 teaspoon contains about 5 grams of oil therefore it contains about 45 calories. You might also check the links in my signature for more important information on the dietary management of functional GI disorders such as IBS. Ask lots of questions. There are a lot of knowledgeable people on the message board. Good luck. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Fat problems       #364462 - 04/26/11 06:13 AM Edit Reply Quote CellSalts_Work Reged: 08/15/10 Posts: 225 Surely that can't be right...

A calorie in nutrition is 1000 times bigger than the calorie used in laboratories. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: The difference between calories       #364469 - 04/26/11 12:46 PM Edit Reply Quote hudlander Reged: 09/26/10 Posts: 198 Thanks Syl....I emailed you twice several days ago and have not heard back...y?

However, I was wondering if you have a specific product that gets a good percentage of the calories from protein rather than carbs, if 25% fat percentage is too high for some? Or what about if the calories are coming from added sugar? It doesn't really make sense to me that by adding sugar to a product you can also add fat and have it be safer. How does this work?

Adding pure protein or sugar to a meal does not change its fat content. And the remainder of the 75% of calories can come from any protein or carb source. Could you explain more clearly what you are asking? Are you asking if 25% fat is too high for some people? -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1 | 2 | (show all)
