Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Is this constant pain even IBS ?

I wanted to give a little update on my status.
I am currently doing better painwise.
I use to only spice my chicken with pepper and salt. I read on wikipedia the following : Pepper is eliminated from the diet of patients having abdominal surgery and ulcers because of its irritating effect upon the intestines, being replaced by what is referred to as a bland diet. So I cut out pepper and a major part of the pain seemed to have dissapeared now. Hopefully this is the trigger that caused me so much pain in the past, since I always used pepper. Now I also noticed salt gives me heartburn, probably because I have been using it to much, which is one of the things they say, to much of salt causes heartburn. I'm not 100% painfree atm but I feel like I might be heading on a path here. I do have alot more gas now for a week. Not quite sure why, I blaim the current gas( past day ) on the luna bars I have been eating cause of to much soy (2 or 3 a day) I know to much but they are so good ! I'm cutting them out for a bit and will slowly add em back, 1 every 2 days in a week or so and see how that goes.
