Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: I thinks it safe to say, I should stay away from all foods!!!

Most of us have felt like you, but in truth, like Dragonfly, just mentioned, there are many SF foods you can eat. Have you read Heather's book or explored this website for her "Cheat Sheet"? If the foods you listed are all you have to avoid, you "can" eat things like:
Sourdough bread, Italian bread - plain bread
Bagels - wonderful and easy to take with you anywhere -
I've learned to use applesauce as a "dip" with them

White Rice
Bananas
Herbal teas
Look at the list.... there are many more things, as well as ways to prepare them. You may not be eating steak or spaghettti and meatballs, but there are alternatives. I can't so soy either, but I can eat tuna and baked/boiled chicken...
And, start out slow with a couple of things, then add to it, if you stay on a diet of pure carbs you're bound to gain some of that weight back...
Prayers and good wishes - don't give up, this site has plenty of advice.......
