You have to just bite the bullet and TRY things, regardless of what anyone else has said about them. I've said it before, I'll say it again: as long as you keep stressing so much over everything that goes into your mouth, you're not going to see much of an improvement anyway - not because of the food, but because of the anxiety!

Honestly, other than the known trigger foods and the few foods you already know DO cause you a specific problem, I think you should treat EVERY food as something you should try and NOT something that's going to hurt you. Because chances are really good that that's the truth.

If I avoided everything that people say bothers them, I'd still be eating nothing but pasta and chicken. But I dove in and started trying new things. Now I eat salad, corn on the cob, dark meat chicken, fresh berries like CRAZY, and other things that a lot of IBS'ers can't. Why? Because I tried them, even though other people said they couldn't eat them, and they didn't make me hurt any worse than I already did, so... cool!
