I am IBS-A (mostly C) with pain. How long should I stay on the pretty safe soluble diet before adding in an insoluble fruit or vegetable? Do I need to be at a certain level of my SFS? Right now here is my diet. Does this look safe? I've been doing this for almost 2 weeks.
Breakfast: Cooked Quinoa and 3 oz of cooked papaya (I think papaya is a soluble fruit, right)?
Lunch: 2 pieces of gluten free white rice bread, 2 oz of deli sliced chicken or turkey,
Snack: either 1/2 banana or a whole banana, but usually dry corn cereal
Snack: rice crackers
Dinner: chicken or fish,white rice or rice noodles, or potatoes, 3oz cooked carrots or cooked (or cooked carrots combined with cooked squash), gluten free white rice roll.
Snack: toasted bread and maybe a glass of rice milk
I'm up to 7 grams fiber from citrucel.
So, two questions.
1. Does this diet look safe for my first 2 weeks on the diet or should I cut something out?
2. How long before I can add an insoluble like cooked spinach or green beans or a cooked apple? Or should I stick to this diet for a while? And how much insoluble should I start with if any?
Some people don't do insolubles for months or even a year into the diet. Is there a good time to wait?
Thank you all in advance.
