Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hang in there. Those food poinsoning related attacks can be hell for both our bodies AND our minds. I still have not eaten asparagus b/c I had it about 3 months ago at a restaurant with a pasta dish and had a terrible attack which really seemed like food poisoning. I don't recall feeling more bloating when adding the IF except if I didn't cook my veggies REALLY soft. Definitely just do small amounts and imagine that you want everything "half-digested" so to speak for you before you eat it...like with a smoothie. I would recommend doing a search for smoothies. I personally started with them right away...banana/frozen blueberries/acacia...just add water if you are not doing a milk substitute like soy or rice milk. I have made them will all the substitues...soy, rice, almond...and it was good. I just stopped b/c I think I get gassy from some of those. Any other questions, just ask...but don't be afraid. Taking the acacia is only going to have a positive effect. Worse case would be some gas and bloating but the acacia will only help ward off an attack. In the beginning I could almost "feel" it absorbing the water in my system when my bms were loose. Try tomorrow afternoon or evening (not first thing in the morning) with some IF. You can do it!!
