I am 20 years old. I have had IBS for years now. I've gone through about 3 awful hard frustrating years of pain almost all the time. Burning, cramping, attacks, etc. It's gotten to the point where I can't really eat much if I want to function at all, and accomplish daily tasks. Gluten free doesn't seem to help much. I tried heather's diet sort of a few months ago. I don't feel I tried hard enough. I was nervous of eating new things that I haven't eaten in a long time. Now the doctors have suggested the low FODMAPS diet. I just have a feeling that it's not going to help me a whole lot. A big part of my problem is that my stomach doesn't know how to function or work at all anymore.
If anyone has any suggestions about what diet I should try right now that would be great. I am not opposed to trying heather's diet again. I just feel like wheat is going to hurt me but I don't really know what hurts me anymore so I could be completely wrong!
