I have both books, and I still don't know exactly what ya'll mean by "IBS Guidelines". Could someone give these to me word for word. Also, when ya'll talk about exercising, what exactly do you do? Is walking, riding bikes, and yoga enough? Lets say for about an hour and half a day? If you don't mind, give me examples of what your exercise programs consist of. I'm sorry to be such a nuisance, I'm just still so new to all of this.

I try to move around as much as possible after meals esp. and just in general. I get about 40 min. of walking time in 5 days a week so far...and I do yoga occasionally with time permitting for up to an hour.
You are totaly NOT a pain...we love hearing from you! *hugs*
I hope someone else can help ya out with your IBS guidelines question!
Take care, and let me know how your exercise goes (an hour and a half is AMAZING! Do you get up after meals and walk around? That also might help).

Walking, riding your bike and yoga is definitely enough! Especially if you do it for an hour and a half every day!!! Yikes. That's quite the workout schedule. For my workouts, it depends on the time of year. I do pilates 3-4 times per week year round, I typically do Yoga in the winter, I workout at the gym (lifting weights - 3 x per week except in the summer) and I play ultimate LOTS and LOTS and LOTS in the summer!
Have fun!

Hi - You're not a nuisance! The "IBS Guidelines" just means the general dietary guidelines, which you're probably familiar with from the books. Avoid trigger foods entirely (red meat, dairy, fried foods, coffee, etc.). Base meals and snacks on soluble fiber. Be very careful with insoluble fiber, and add it to your diet with caution (cook, peel, seed, dice, puree fruits/veggies, blend beans, don't have insoluble fiber on an empty stomach or without soluble fiber). That's all!
