Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Heather's diet, I believe...

Yep, unfortunately, everyone Is different and can tolerate different things! In a very generalized way, this is what I have learned from other posters on this boards-People with IBS D need more soluble fiber and less insoluble fiber. Insoluble fiber is more likey to upset a D type person. People with C also need soluble fiber but must typically eat as much insoluble fiber as possible to keep things moving!

There is no exact rule that will work for everyone. The best thing to do is keep a food journal. That is how I discovered I can eat salads and strawberries is I only eat them every few days. I can eat raisin bran cereal (with rice "milk") just fine but than if I turn around and have a salad for lunch also, I'm in trouble! If I have a "safer" cereal like honeycomb for breakfast and I'm kinda stable, than a salad with bread would be just fine for lunch! It really does vary so much from person to person. It is really trial and error.

As for the orange question, I just peel and eat! Try having some white or sourdough toast for breakfast and than try the orange.
