Hi,
I just got the book -- Eating for IBS at the library yesterday. After 7+ years & over 30 doctors, I finally have an answer.
I have tried many diets trying to get my body & health back together again. Most recently, I have been following a whole grain diet-- no processed food, no preservatives, no white sugar, etc. I was told repeatedly that it was the best for health reasons. But I found out that it wasn't the best for me b/c I kept on having to run to the bathroom especially moments upon eating something. The only "good thing" is that I lost some of my excess weight.
Now after reading this I am very confused. I feel as though I was sort of brain washed into straying away from products in the store that had ingredients that I did not recognize. Now it seems that I don't know where or how to shop anymore.
Before all of this happened, my eating habits included the following:
B: cold or hot cereal, blueberry muffin, bagel, english muffin, or toast with oj or milk.
L: sandwich on wheat bread (PB & Jam, cold cuts, cheese, cream cheese & Jam, chiken, tuna, etc), apple, & chips.
D: green salad, veggie, meat, & rice/orso/pasta.
For snacks & desserts I would have crackers, popcorn, fruit, cookies, or on a special occasion cake, brownies, etc.
I read where sourdough or french bread is the way to go. But what about bagels or english muffins. Is there a certain brand that I should get? With the pasta's should I stay away from the wheat & get some Asian noodles? Is there a guide for grocery shopping that I can get? What kind of type of vegetables are better for IBS? What are some good snacks for during the day? 
Any / all information would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Lynn
