Abby       01/19/05 07:56 PM Edit Reply Quote Taylahmai Reged: 11/03/04 Posts: 257 Loc: Western Australia Abby, you've had a lot of responses already, but I thought I'd share a few ideas of my own. I've found its so important that I include lots of fruit and veges in my diet otherwise I get C with a vengence. Perhaps my symptoms are milder then others, I don't know, but I don't seem to react badly to any fruit or vege. I have constant bloating and gas problems but these aren't made any better or worse by the type of fruit or vege I eat. For me its important that I have variety in my diet, because I am passionate about food and to be stuck with a rigid, monotonous diet would be the end of me. Perhaps I put up with more bloating and gas then I should, but its a small price for me to pay to have a variety of fruit and veg in my diet. But aside from fruit and veg, I am restricted with the other foods I eat. I have no red meat, no wheat based foods (used to be gluten free but am experimenting with spelt flour which is wheat but not gluten free), no dairy, no soy and no caffiene. I'm meant to be alcohol and chocolate free too, but they're my vices! There's nothing I love more then eating out at restaurants so I often bare the consequences of overindulging when I go out. But as I said before, a bit of gas and bloating is worth the torment if it means I can have a relatively 'normal' life. To cut a long story short (sorry if I've been rambling) I do cheat and I probably cheat more often then I should, but when I was on a rigid diet my life was horrible. I've found out what I can cheat more safely with and what I definately can't. I CANNOT eat wheat based foods, but I can tolerate some cheese, chocolate and wine. If I keep these foods as a treat it makes my life (and my boyfriends life!) so much more enjoyable. The important thing to remember is do not let IBS control your life. Control the IBS and live your life to the full. -------------------- ~ Live life, don't let life live you ~ Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
