Welcome.
I too have experienced the pitfalls of modern medicine. My GI told me I could eat anything I wanted to just include more fiber and this was a second opinion!
GI's really don't know much about IBS, so they tend to treat us as if we are depressed or just plain psycho.
Thank GOD I was searching on the internet and found Heather's website it is a lifesaver. Once I found out what I should and should not be eating and ordered her books, peppermint capsules, Acacia (which did not like me) I could actually see daylight ahead.
Also, the support of this board has made me try things I was just scared to do only to find that it helped me a great deal.
God does the healing and the doctors get the pay - threy don't know, some of them don't care and others are still researching.
You, just as I, found a great website; one where we can say exactly what we feel about our condition and get a compassionate supportive response.
Fast Foods: Jack In The Box has a sourdough chicken sandwich which is good and IBS safe. Wendy's also has a grilled chicken sandwich. None of these have the frills of French Fries, Sauces and all the other goodies we use to eat but plain is just as good.
Welcome again!
