Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: For Kappy! Please read!! Dieting with IBS

Kappy, I have to applaud you for getting me back on the right tract. I really needed the information you gave me on how often to eat and how many calories for each mini meal. I "re-started" my "diet" again today and feel excited. You gave me the jump start that I needed to not give up and really take this thing to the next level of seriousness. I am hoping that if I can get on track between now and April 14, when I go in for my next back surgery that I will be better off than I was for the last ones. All of the pain meds on an empty stomach really bind me up for DAYS!! It is painfully awful!

When you eat rice, do you stick to white or do you have brown? Also with potatoes, I know that a sweet potato or yam is better for your health but is white better for those of us with IBS/C?

I did look in Heathers book and 1 slice of the chocolate applesauce bread is 182 calories, so today I had a slice with a cup of hot tea for a snack.The bread does have raisins in it, but do I still need to add a piece of fruit? I know if I do that it will put me over 200 calories for a snack. What are your thoughts?
