Yeah, there seems to be this misconception that this diet is all about white bread and white flour and it is not. The diet is about eating easy to digest, SF foods exclusively for a few days/ weeks when starting, and then keeping SF in every meal thereafter. Each persons fiber tolerance is different but IF is needed and can be incorporated as soon as a little can be handled. Going sugar and white flour free on the EFI diet is possible but takes creativity as does doing the diet GF like many do.
-------------------- 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!
