Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

So, my nutritionist basically told me to eat plain fresh fish, plain chicken, and plain red meat (organic) with plain rice or potatoes and cooked veggies (like carrots, parsnips, and whatever I can tolerate), twice a day. Two ounces of the protein at each meal. For breakfast she suggest cream of rice and LITERALLY two bites of plain yogurt since I'm not lactoste intolerant. She also suggests I cook peaches and pears and eat them plain.

This diet is meant to be for eating for IBS, gluten free, egg free, corn free, mostly dairy free, and sugar/sweetner free.

Whaddya think? Does this sound healthy--IBS safe?

Thanks for your input...and for caring!

P.S. Heather, I told her about your book in my questionarre, and she was impressed (that's how I knew I liked her!)

She even suggested I drink herbal teas...a definite plus!

The other hting is, when I was in high school I woke up at 4am and exrcised for an hour, then spent 2 hours eating breakfast...including 90 oz. water! It took me 3 hours to have a BM (she says it takes most folks 1-2 hours in that situation). Does anyone know anything about this and why I might have had a BM almost every day like clockwork in high school? I was also taking ritalin for ADD, eating dried apricots for breakfast, a soy meal OR a bagel with cream cheese. I think it may have been the ritalin! It's speeds up your brain...why not your metabolism? Any thoughts?

Thanks!!!
