Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Question about oil and vinager

Thanks for all your answers. I do not use a lot of oil on my salad. As it is I am not able to eat any vegatables except cooked squash. Anything else sends me to the bathroom. So this is why I still eat salad, (I stopped eating romaine, and went to iceberg, because of stomach upset).

It gets quite depressing when people ask you what you eat, and when you say not much, they say you poor thing. I have turned down dinner invites because of the place they want to go to, I can not eat that food. I hate having to explain all the time why I am unable to eat something. I have eliminated certain foods and then tried and placed them back into my diet, but the same problems occured, so I do not eat them anymore.

Does anyone else feel scared to try a certain food again, because you don't want to go through all the pain it causes again?

I am seeing a gastrologist tomorrow again to discuss why I am unable to eat so many foods. I am going to ask for a food allergy test and gluten test too.

Sorry to go on. Thanks for listening.

Karen
