Hi and welcome!

I'll answer some of your questions..

Which of Heathers books should I read first?
I think you should begin with The first year, I learned a lot from it! You konw that you can read some chapters right here on the site, just click on the link IBS books on your left and find the link chapters in the info on each book.

Is pasta made with eggs and is it safe to eat?
I eat tagiatelle and feel ok, but not everebody does. I actually can eat egg yolks - I even eat a fried egg sadwich sometimes(no butter on the bread and a cup of camomile tea on the side)

Italian bread just as safe as french or sourdough? All white bread is ok, I think.

Should I put lettuce into a sandwich or I should eat the sandwhich than eat the lettuce? I always put the lettuce on the sandwich.

Can taking to much fiber supplements at once cause more bloating and discomfort? I get IBS-C if I take to much.

Is there any mayo thats safe to use because I love potato salad? I can eat small amounts of light mayo, you could serve the salad dressing on the side instead of drenching the potatoes in it. Use it as a dip and make it whith a lot of herbes or some mustard - if it tastes a lot you don't have to use to much. Add soy yoghurt instead of sour cream.

Good Luck!

Sofia
