Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I should clarify - new to this web site not new to IBS. I think I've probably had IBS-C since I was a kid. Diagnosed in my teens. I think it's going to take me a while to really wrap my brain around this diet. I'm so used to whole wheat everything. I haven't bought white bread ever! I'm still waiting for the kit with the books to arrive but for now I'm thinking I need to do the "get control" diet for a few days. My symptoms have been pretty mild for the last couple of years and I blew it by trying a 5 day cleanse called Reset by USANA. I have thrown myself into a full blown attack like I haven't experienced for a long time! OK - after all that, here's my question..... What can I put on rice, potatoes or toast, if I can not eat butter, marg, or sour cream? What about pasta if I can't have cheese or meatsauce? Should I be drinking vegetable juice? I'm sure you can guess the rest. I have a lot of changes to make and I love dairy products. Is it possible that some people can tolerate them in small amounts? Help !!
