Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Hey, Nelly...about this food tolerance stuff

Okay, I cannot tolerate much, like you. This is a creepy question, but are there any vegetables you can tolerate? Everytime I try and delude myself that I can tolerate a diversity of vegetables, I set myself up for D-attacks. As soon as green things are a part of the picture, I'm screwed. Sure, Beano is great for gas, but not for D! Lately, I'm so bad that the smell of anything dark green will give me that gurgle--especially anything sulfurous like spinach or broccoli or asparagus or green beans. I think the greenest thing I can stomach without a problem is zucchini.

So...these are the only vegetables I seem to be able to eat (relatively safely and not in the morning):

zucchini
peeled carrots
most squashes
peeled potatoes
peeled sweet potatoes
beets
mushrooms

Now that I won't even try to fake myself out with veggies that will catch up with me, I have to eat the SF stuff like white rices and quinoa and potatoes. (Wheat is a big trigger and I eat gf)

I'm just asking you because you're a sensitive type, like me. When I actually follow Heather's diet principles I don't use much Immodium.

I'm trying to reprogram my mind to be okay with this kind of diet. (My grocery bill is getting too cheap for comfort, lol!) I'm in anti-meat mode.

Sorry for babbling.

Kate.
