Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Meat/seafood/tofu/poultry triggers !

Any kind of meat stops my digestive system as well. I don't know if it is the small amount of fats or what. Fish is not a problem

You should still be able to stay healthy. As long as you get your fruits and veggies and some calcium and protein from some source (e.g. your soy isolate protein bars). Vegetarians do fine with out meat. I'm sure they get protein from other sources, but it's not meat.

If you are good with the nut butters and things like that, stick with those. They are good sources of protein as well. Also, www.gotbody.com has a soy protein shake with no artificial sweeteners/flavors. You can try that; I have had good luck with it. I can't remember what it is called, but you can find it under the soy products.

How about fish? Can you eat fish? I love fish. It is a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids. White fish is less fatty than like salmon or tuna, but I eat salmon and tuna with no problem.

When you eat your proteins you mentioned, are you having a soluble fiber buffer before eating it? The SFS really helps to not cause a major gut reaction from the other foods.
