Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | IVF, PCOS,IBS and high protein foods.

Hi guys,

I am currently going through IVF treatment which has become necessary due to the fact that I suffer infertility resulting from Polycystic Ovarian Sundrome. What a mouthful!

The drugs, stress of IVF etc have all had an effect on my IBS I'm sure but I'm also starting to think it is working both ways.

Anyhow this is my question.

It is suggested that prior to and following the "egg pick up" operation I should stick to a high protein diet. Apparently this helps to avoid and deal with hyperstimulation of the ovaries. I have had this before and I don't want it again! I was quite sick.

Does anyone have a good menu suggestion for a high protein diet also compatible with the IBS diet?

Also it has been suggested that I use a protein powder drink (available from pharmacies) as well. has anyone tried these? can they be made with soy milk? Are they IBS friendly or are the ingredients full of dairy etc? I haven't looked at them yet, I was just wondering if anyone else has any info on them.

Thanks guys,
Kerrie
