Chris:

I understand your difficulties with the IBS diet and the fact it's in direct opposition to you getting healthy on other fronts. I have blood sugar problems myself (diabetes is rampent in my family) and so the IBS diet is not ideal for me either.

I find it all boils down to this. I cannot endure living in pain and having D or C all the time. So I find the IBS diet has to take precedence over my other health issues, or I would be unable to function in society. What else can I do? It's kind of like a balancing act, but the scale is tipped dramatically towards IBS so I can find the strength to juggle the rest!

I love San Francisco! My boyfriend lives in Sunnyvale, CA and I travel to your area six times a year! My next trip is scheduled for May.

I've found a few good food products in your area. For example, the Earth Balance buttery spread is available at Trader Joe's. On my last trip, I bought Yehuda matzoh at Andronico's supermarket in Palo Alta. It's a great cracker/snack food alternative -- made with just water and white flour and no additives! Whenever I travel into San Francisco on the Caltrain for the day, I bring an insulated lunchbag (with freezer packs) with my own sandwich -- made with two slices of French bread (which my boyfriends bakes for me!), some Earth Balance and homemade fresh slices of chicken breast. Alas, so far in five years of visiting San Francisco, I haven't found an IBS-safe restaurant to eat at there.
