Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Heather, what the hell?

I have a comment, we that are diagnosed with IBS look for every answer of how to get over it. You can get over IBS you have to learn to control it. Heather's book is one of three I have read and I found hers to be more satisfying to me.Something else we must realize is, that what one can eat is not always what another can eat. I found that wheat sometimes can trigger me and fructose will. I can't tolerate graham crackers of any kind, it's a mystery to me, but yet I avoid it because it's a trigger. The recipes that I have followed from Heather's cooking have given me much hope and I try them and I substitute where needed. Insoluble and Soluble make sense and it works. I balance out my eating habits and I take no meds and no fiber supplements at this time, never have. I started out having the common stomach flu this year and now symptoms of IBS and I mean bad DDD. Get tested and make sure food allergy is not a issue and talk to your DOC, meds can make you worse and getting the right ones for your are another thing all together. I hope everyone feels better. Sinced I joined this board,I have found a tremendous amount of support, and friendship. God Bless.
