Welcome to the Boards, Lisa! You came to the right place.
You need to get Heather's book, "The First Year." It will explain in detail the proper diet for IBS. Practically all of us follow it to the letter. It's not a vegetarian diet, although red meat is eliminated completely, as well as dark poultry meat (both triggers).
Another BIG triggers is coffee -- including decaf -- there's an enzyme in it that's a HUGE trigger. When I finally cut it out of my diet, I instantly got better.
I eat mostly salmon and tuna, because I have high cholesterol, but occasionally I'll splurge on a little white meat turkey.
So, as the others have said, you don't HAVE to go vegan if you don't want to.
Again, welcome to the Boards! And don't forget to get Heather's book (check the link to your left).
Bev.
