Cheerios are safe but have a reputation as a gassy food. Brings back memories of bus rides to school with boys.

Anyway I am trying to remember if I adjusted my diet. I think not except for that I always up my fiber temporarily when messed up and eat more safely after D to ease things. My usual diet is more of a C diet with lots of fiber and fruits and veggies; the D would happen after cheating or sometimes just from heat or from having a cold.

Each individual needs to make the call of how long to stay on the ultra safe but low nutrient food. Some people are so touchy that it takes a long time to change that and it is better to eat the BRAT kind of food than to poop it all out without digesting it properly- and for some that is the choice- to eat ultra safe or to get D. There are a lot of posts in the past about the easiest way to incorporate the better for you foods. Peaches in your oatmeal is a good first step. Yams and carrots are great too.

IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
