Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: what should I do

I have been on the diet for over 8 months. I cook all my vegetables. Raw veggies don't agree with me. As far as fruits, I use to peel them, but I am able to eat the skins now.
Sample Meal (This is what I had today)
Breakfast -
1 tablespoon of acacia in water
Oatmeal with blue berries
Peppermint tea

Snack -
Pretzels

Lunch -
Hunan Chicken. They know me at the Chinese restaurant and fix it for me the way I need it.
Steamed rice, chicken, "cooked" broccoli, carrots.
Peach halves for dessert.
Tension tammer tea

Snack -
Pretzels

Dinner -
Homemade Chicken Vegetable soup
Sliced apple
Peppermint tea

Snack before Bed - (haven't had this yet)
Fruit Smoothie made with soy milk, 1 tablespoon of acacia, 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed, 1 banana, honey to taste, & frozen mixed fruits

Someone suggested recently to start adding IF & fruit using baby food. I think this is a very good idea. Think of this diet as if you are a new baby being introduced to new foods. Cooked and pureed at first then with chunks, etc.

I would not give your daughter cheese or cow's milk. Dairy products are a trigger and cheese can be very constipating.
For milk, try soy, almond, or rice milk.

Good luck, I applaud you for helping you daughter.
