I hear you! I totally know what it's like to be there. Read Heather's response to IBS constipation and pain (from today.) There are different groups of foods. Once you understand this, it will be easier. If you haven't already, read the section on this website for Eating for IBS chapter reviews which explains some of this. The short of it is, once I got things stabilized with soluble fiber, I found sweet potatoes, VERY well cooked carrots, and bananas great starts. Have you tried soy milk? Once you get used to the taste, it's yummy. Remember, the more mashable a food is, the easier it is to digest. Great rule of thumb. Ie. cooked carrot vs. raw carrot. I can't tolerate whole wheat in any amounts at all for some reason. It will take a bit of trial an error. Be brave and careful. If I can be of any more help, let me know. Take care of yourself. PS have you tried Peppermint tea? Ginger? Fennel? They can reduce some of the discomforts. You may even feel better in a few days. Let me know how you are doing. Han.
