Chris,
It sounds like the diet that your doctor has described is the SCD (Specific Carbohydrate) diet. I know there are people with IBD that have done well with this regime, but I've also heard it's not a good choice for those with IBS. I know the BTC diet can be constipating and can worsen problems with anemia, but that's why it's only advisable for a short time (a few days, certainly no more than a week). There are just SO many things that could potentially for someone be a trigger and it really is just meant to slow things down for your body a few days. Are you taking a soluable fiber supplement? This may help with the constepation while on the BTC diet. I remember thought that I did add a few things to my rice during that phase - I added some balsamic vinegar, fenel seeds and egg whites for a more salty type mix and things like honey, lime juice, slices of dry mango, nutmeg and ginger for a sweeter type rice. I also put ketchup on my baked potatoes. Some variety for the taste buds can help alittle. Hope things get better for you. You really seem to be working hard to find something that will work for you and I'm sure your efforts will be fruitful in the end - keep us updated.
