Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

It is a no no because it clogs up the GI tract. Beef is well known for causing C. Have you seen the King of the Hill when he gets 'beef filled colon'? I sometimes will allow myself the leanest cuts of beef in a low fat meal if I have been stable. I had planned on a salad with beef this week but since I have been so bad I changed to chicken stir fry. When I do have beef I generally eat flank steak or I might occasionally have buffalo which is lower in fat. But remembering that too much beef will sit in the gut and irritate it.

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!
