Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: reaching out for some help

do you not eat protein and fat, just carbs?
And what is cream of rice? Has it got milk or dairy in it?
if you don't eat fruit and veggies (the adding of which means problems you said) are you OK then or even then you have C?

have you tried adding other foods one by one and then waiting 3 days before introducing anything else? I used to not wait and tried too many things at once and that always results in confusion. I also didn't eat nuts for more than a year because I erroneously associated it with problems. only to try them later and see no problems. that got rid of my food phobia.

well-cooked carrots should have the same proportion of IF and SF as bread! that's what science tells us! ie you should be able to tolerate it.

I used to be really really afraid of eating too much IF, then I saw this and saw how I can eat a lot of things:

and just generally looked into the whole science thing and that helped me overcome my fears. knowledge is power.

now: stable through EFI+FODMAP dieting (no lactose/no fructose/some fructans and some polyols)

before: IBS-D(pseudo-diarrhoea), bloating, often unbearable pain esp from too much fat: Apr 2007- Dec 2010

FODMAPs: http://www.todaysdietitian.com/newarchives/072710p30.shtml

[I've tried VSL#3 -> I could tolerate v good amounts of IF (even with less SF), it worked great (but overall I find it too expensive)]
