Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

We have discussed before how people can get bloated just from tight clothes. It is amazing but true. In fact my husband who doesn't have IBS will get bloated from pants that fit too tight on the waist. I cannot wear pants or skirts that fit high up around the natural waist. I will get bloated just from putting them on. I love low pants and skirts. Some brands fit looser in the waist as a rule (like the Gap). Also the new empire waist blouses in certain fabrics cover the tummy and hide the muffin top over low pants! Once in a while fashion works out!

--------------------
IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
