I am looking forward to using the IBS diet and trying all those delicious looking recipes, but a little nervous about how they will affect me. I have been a meat eater as long as I have had health issues. I know the recipes are good for me, but not having meat is hard to do, even though it is one of my worst triggers. :( [color:blue] [/color]

Louise - I used to eat beef and pork at least 3-4 times a week and I just love them both. But...you really get used to not having it. Keep a stiff upper lip, toots! It's worth it.
I've made meatloafs and burgers using extra lean ground turkey. If you find a good recipe, it should taste just as good as if it were made from beef. In fact, just make it like you did w/beef. I think you'll be surprised.

I'm right with you ladies - My family was a meat and potatoes and grease family. It's is very difficult for me to comprehend the fact that we IBS people don't eat steak and roast and grease french fries. Keep in mind I had a VIP card at Burger King (No kidding). So I am having a little trouble.
But I find that if I eat everything according to the IBS book all day - I am able to treat myself with a Mickey D's burger every now and then.
I have been on the diet for 3 weeks and had my first burger from there last night since I started the diet. I had a huge bowl of oatmeal first and then I never even got sick after that burger.
But really lets be honest people - I don't think that Mickey D's burger are real meat anyways - no matter what they claim. haha. And the IBS book never said "Lay off all food that resembles muck and comes in a 5 gallon pail"
