Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

not hyper (or traditional diabetic) but I would talk to your doctor about meeting with a dietician and take your old diet and the IBS guidelines and see what they suggest...

you might be amazed.. I always avoided raw sugar and simple carbs because they digested too fast causing spikes in my sugar levels, but eating them with proteins 6 times a day seems to balance me so I am ok.. just eating smaller amounts.. I try to keep teh overal size of my snacks to about 200 calories and meals to about 300, but there is some leeway and for the most part I have no problem doing it and am thriving on this.. and maintaining to losing weight.. actually losing faster then I was pre-ibs... I find either having a supplement or a small amount of soluble fiber food with each meal is fine, and easy enough.. and I can even eat pasta for one to 2 meals a day with sauce and protein in it... without throwing my blood sugar all out of whack.. I'd definitely talk to a dietician though and see what they suggest before playing around too much with it..

good luck
