Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I eat tons of fruit- its fine with SF first and for many raw veggies with SF first are ok too. I actually can handle a good amount of IF on a happy tummy.
However, wine is the worst! I am absolutely allergic to it and completely can't have it. I don't see any reason why it isn't just IBS and not an actual food allergy. No one in my family has food allergies.
I love gourmet food and want to seem urbane and educated when travelling and eating out but can't order wine. It is embarrassing in a way but at least it is less expensive! (looking at bright side).

Still if you feel you have some symptoms still remaining, you owe it to yourself to go a little further than medium and hone yourself to follow the diet more completely. If you have symptoms now and they can improve- how great would that be!?

PS. Nibbling when cooking is a great thing to do! Nibbling is what our guts want. As long as it isn't fried or too fatty foods on an empty stomach then nibbling is a good thing.

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!
