Snorkie gave some very good advice. I've been battling with IBS-C for a while now, and Heather's diet has been the best so far. Just watch overeating, that is my weakness and I'm suffering today (from sunday). My doc told me that the attacks may not be triggered from what I'm eating at the moment they start; however, they are more likely caused from what I had to eat two days ago. Doesn't really help the elimination process does it?
I tried Heather's suggestion about only eating starches (i.e. potatoes (no skins) rice, chex, carrots, tummy fiber, etc.) and SF for a few days, and I felt great!! No attacks, then I started adding back in IF and some chicken, fish, and turkey, and I am still great. When I get an attack, I go back and look what I've had different in the last few days, and go from there. Hope this helps.
