Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

i have always read that upper GI symptoms are not related to IBS. then i see a lot of people who come on these boards are talking about things like indigestion and acid reflux. now... whether those are just 2 different manifestations of the same thing or two separate things all together... who knows?

i do know that lots of us get gassy. i do believe that this diet helps make people more comfortable in that regard. as for the indigestion--- if it's like an acid reflux thing, start eliminating foods you haven't eliminated yet (many fruits, OJ, coffee, tomatoes... go to Google for a comprehensive list on a kajillion different websites). many people find that a food journal helps narrow down the culprits for a lot of the things you've described...

if dietary changes don't work, i'd say make a laundry list of symptoms, no matter how minor they seem, and take them back to your doctor and have another go-'round.

hope you find some relief and answers!
