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

really sorry to hear all these problems.

I can relate to a bad experience of food poisoning and then not being able to eat it. I had this and then avoided that particular foodstuff for years too. then I tried a little and it was OK and that was the only thing that helped me get over my distaste.if you don't want to eat chicken, by all means don't eat it, that's not what I'm suggesting. but I think that you'd start feeling infinitely better if you added some protein and fat to your diet. any form. maybe try in v small doses?

I've had all sorts of problems over my life regarding OCD-s, phobias etc and there was a major improvement when first of all I made sure that I got all the vitamins and minerals. are you taking a vitamin supplement? but lack of protein and fat can also mess with your mind, which is why I really hope you'll be able to add some protein and fat to your diet.

all the very best.
