ANyone have this problem.....I went to the health food store to look for some of the products you all had mentioned...and the woman, who says she has IBS too, freaked out on me when I told her about the diet....She said it is horrible . Firstly she said that only whole grains are good for anyone..but that in the case of IBS NO wheat products at all should be eaten...according to her that means no bread or pasta or crackers or cookies of any kind. Here I am living on bread and graham crackers and pastas....She suggested that I eat vegetables and fruits and poultry "like a big girl" and of course no dairy. But I'm not sure I can eliminate wheat products and I KNOW I can onnly tolerate small amounts of whole grains...Anyone out there eat them??? I can only imagine what diet advice my MD is going to give me (She also told me not to listen to him.) Someone please tell me this lady is nutso.... ALSO...Does anyone get 3 to 4 servings of fruits and veggies a day?? Right now I am not but slowly adding them in....
