Hi Janice, I'm sorry to hear about your concerns. First, are you IBS C or D? That can make a big difference on the types of foods you eat. I am C and I have a fairly well balanced diet (until i get an attack and have to go back to all starches) Once you get "stable" or your IBS is under control, you can add the fruits and veggies. The dairy you can live without, we are the only species on earth that drinks milk from another animal, and the only species that drinks milk when we get older. You can find great alternatives to dairy that provide the same nutrients. Soy milk, if tolerable, can be fortified with calcium, riboflavin, and vitamin D, along with iron and many other health benefits. If you cook your fruits and veggies, they should be safe to eat, and you still get the nutrition from them. Just make sure to have a SF base for your meals. I eat Whole grains like oatmeal, barley, brown rice, and rye, fruits like berries, grapes, bananas, apples, melon, mango, pomegranate, and veggies like mushrooms, carrots, green beans, greens, tomatoes, onions, broccoli, cauliflower, sweet potatoes, peppers, and many more fruits and veggies can be eaten if you take the proper precautions. I know it is frustrating, but you will get the hang of it. Cooking veggies and fruits makes it alot easier on the digestion. Also, there are many other fruits and veggies that I didn't mention that would be great! Please don't give up on this, and I promise you will eventually figure out how to get the balanced diet you are looking for. One more thing, fish is an awesome super food and it is great for IBS'ers, and chicken is also another great form of protein!
I hope that helps!
