Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Well,

I used to have a whole lot more of bloating, gass and general pain.

I don't think I was lactose intollerant, but stopping the dairy did stop the "out of the blue" cramping attacks I was having.

What I do during the day is, I generally eat oatmeal in the morning (and i don't put milk in it any more...

I have to use soymilk... which tastes horrible, I have to find something else). Then I have a snack between breakfast and lunch and the snack is either pretzels, or something like that. Then I have lunch, which might be a bread (white bread) sandwich, or some other snacky thing. Then i have a banana for afternoon snack and I have dinner with my husband. Dinner is made of cooked food -- rice, or potatoes with something else, sometimes peas, sometimes ground meat (a very small amount), all 'bad' foods but in small amounts and with plenty of staples

Most of the time, I cook things that specific of our native cuisine (I'm not american, I was born in Eastern Europe) which happens to be very IBS friendly, as I am reading from Heather's site. So I might be posting some recipes on the board after I try them all out, and if you guys are interested

With the no-dairy diet most of my symptoms have lessened -- the pain has become more controlled, gass and bloating has lessened. I guess dairy has been a big trigger for me.

Hope that helps and you feel better soon.
