Its just that my body cannot tolerate anything insoluble at all. I try eating it with solubles, but it doesnt help. Do you think it would be beneficial to see a nutritionist, or would they no little about Ibs and the right foods to eat. I was also wondering if anyone with IBS is on the pill. Wouldnt that make IBS far worse?? Thanks for any advice.

I'm IBS-C with occasional D, and I think the Pill helped me. First off, I feel a lot less sick because I have fewer cramps. It also made me less C, although that's a mild effect compared to getting enough veggies and fruit and fiber (of both sorts). I won't even get into the lowering of stress that comes from eliminating pregnancy scares!

Have you tried well-cooked veggies and fruit? Start with applesauce, and work your way to stuff like minestrone. Take a look at the recipes in Heather's books and on this site, and try to get some sort of good stuff in your body that doesn't make you feel bad!

I'm a fruit/veggie avoider myself, but I do feel much better when I get at least one or two servings per meal. I also feel better when I don't eat salads or raw carrots or huge commercial smoothies (oooh, the fructose and the ice!) or the other stuff I flogged myself to eat before reading Heather's books. Some nice cooked stuff is going to be far nicer to your belly than protein bars with all their artificial ingredients.....
