I was diagnosed with IBS a year or so ago. I got much better when I changed my eating habits but you know how we can slide back into old routines. I started eating salads, nuts, and wheat germ. I had such severe side and stomach pains that I went to the ER, sure I had a GI blockage (which I have had in the past) or a kidney stone. Thank the good Lord it was "just" a huge ball of gas and was better after a while. I'm back eating with some common sense but it sure is depressing to be so limited. I thought I'd never want to quit my Sunkist orange sodas but the memory of that pain made it real easy to quit! Thanks for a great site to get lots of good info and to know I'm not alone!
