Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I am new here. I have been having IBS problems for a while.
I only get D like 1-2 times a week, but it used to be 4-5 times a week. either happening right after dinner, or late in the night. I stopped drinking coke, and noticed a difference right away. the only sweet drinks I have is lemonaide.

I am scared to eat anything most of the time.

this week i have been sick 3 times already as the freezer was stocked up on junk food by my family who left it with me while they went on vacation.

I cannot resist captain crunch cereal. the dye in the crunch berries really trigger my ibs. so i ate a banana first then ate 1 small bowl of it. so far i am fine.

I also drained the milk from the spoon each time i took a bite to keep from eating too much of it. I am trying to find rice milk. not sure where to get it.

Is there any way to keep on a ibs diet without offending my family? I do not cook, I live with my family still and they do the cooking. I try and stay away from meat and stews. and spagetti with sauce as tomatoes hurt my stomach.
