Isn't it frustrating how unique IBS is to each person? I mean, we share general triggers in common, like high fat foods and alcohol, but even they vary! It seems a cure would be easier to find if the cause was understood better.
I know what you mean about the fresh herbs--they cost more too! I usually just cook for myself as well, so I don't buy them that often. I'm not the greatest cook so I haven't tried many of the recipes on the board. When I do follow a recipe, I tend to omit certain herbs and spices because I like my flavors a little simpler (which is just personal preference, not necessarily IBS-related).
What kind of IF are you able to tolerate? It seems like this diet is much more difficult for IBS-Cers to manage. I don't understand how you figure out triggers if you don't have an attack like I do with D (I almost immediately know when something hasn't agreed with me).
I hope someone else has some info they could share about dried herbs!
