Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Really need a lot of fat

Thank you for your answer.

When I wrote low fat I think I meant low in saturated fat and I think I was referring to the oatly brand in general because they have some low fat products too if you compare with products made of milk or cream. The ice-cream culture in my country is very much that they make ice cream out of cream and not of milk. I do not like this kind of icecream at all, I prefer the italian style made of milk and oatly reminds more of that.

I think you have more low fat and fatfree products in the US than we have here. So maybe low fat mean one thing for me and another thing for you, everything depends on what you compare to. I recently went to Turkey for a holday and there the low fat yoghurt was 5 percent fat (!!!) . In my country the low fat yoghurth is 0,5 percent or 0,01 percent so it is really different in different countries.

I do not have so much problems with fats if they not are staurated fats and I sometime need extra fat cause I have problem with underweight, and the IBS diet makes it worse ! I am 35 years old and have a lower weight now than when I was 14. I have always been thin and I need a lot of energy because I do a lot of running. When I was younger I was a bit anorectical because I thought I was fat when my stomach was bloating and I hade gas, that made me feel fat and I started do diet and starve.

One strange thing is that my IBS always get worse when I eat too low fat. Only saturated are really problematic to me.

I never eat a ton of icecrem. I only have it as a dessert, only some small spoons.
