Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hi there... Sorry it's taken me a little bit to reply...
I have written this on here before, but basically I don't follow her diet to a T. I do what works for me and I follow the general rules.
Basically I don't eat any fried foods, anything greasy, not too many fruits/raw foods, not too much meat/chicken, not too many nuts. Mainly I eat sourdough toast, avocados, oatmeal, cheese (it doesn't bother me), steamed veggies, eggs (I eat the yoke and it's fine for me), fish, rice (brown and white), a little bit of chicken, popcorn, pretzels, brown rice crackers, Luna Bar Tea Cakes, rice dream ice cream, fruit juice sweetened pies... I could probably think of more, but that's the gist of my diet.
A few years back I got really obsessed with IBS and trying to "cure" it. It made me crazy and it actually made me feel a lot worse. Once I found what generally works for me, stopped obsessing, found a good probiotic and found that charcoal caps work REALLY well for me, my digestion is pretty pleasant most of the time. It gets disturbed if I eat too much, eat at a resturant that's not one of the few that agree with me, don't sleep enough or am under stress... surprisingly those few things haven't happened much lately and my digestion has been at it's best the last few months... I posted this thread because it truly has gotten much better since adding the probiotics... So there you go
