I've been scared to death to try beans as they are notorious for gas and every article/book I've read on IBS says to stay away from them.
Well I too was desperate for relief after not having a BM for 6 day, even with zelnorm, colace, magnesium, triphala.
So, out of desperation, I ate lentils hoping for a BM! And it worked!!!I was ecstatic! Unfortunately, I ate them 4 days in a row because I was so thrilled that I had a BM, so this weekend I actually have D and I am usually a C. So too much of a good thing is a lesson for me. But at least I know what to do next time. And more pleasurable than an enema would have been! Yeah, I had stinky gas, but that was at night in the privacy of my own apartment. I am just happy for the BM!! Will definately keep these in my diet a couple times a week.
Maybe I will even be brave enough to try a new type of bean!
