do you eat in a day? It may not seem like a lot to you, but perhaps it is too much for the IBS. Many people without IBS eat 5-9 servings a day, but perhaps you can only do one fruit and a few veggies well cooked.

Maybe it's the type of fruits and veggies you are eating? What are you eating?

Also, someone told me to concentrate more on veggies than fruit as they are easier to digest??

I have extreme gas too and have yet to pinpoint the cause. I don't eat gassy veggies at all (no broccoli, cabbage, salad, onions, garlic, etc) so I have no idea where the gas is coming from!!!

In other words, I am in the same boat as you!! If you find something that helps, please post. Gas X and fennel tea don't seem to make that big a difference, but maybe they help expel it easier so that it is not trapped and that is better than trapped.

Also, some have taken charcoal tablets, but those absorb meds so I don't recommend those on a daily basis. They actually give charcoal to people who have OD, so I would worry about them absorbing the good stuff too.

GL!
