Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: way of eating pre-IBS

I am beginning to think that IBS doesn't really have much to do with food.We spend so much time thinking about what we put into our bodies and we constantly think about how it is going to effect us that we forget to just live our lives.If all you think about is ibs how can you ever get rid of it?
Do you ever notice that when you are having a good time ibs is the last thing you think about?And you don't have any attacks?But as soon as you start thinking about it your stomach starts to clench and you end up running?

I believe that food can be an irritate to our tummies but I think the unconscious stress we face everyday is the real culprit.
In Mikes cds he states that we need to send new messages from our brain to our gut and that we will pave a new path in our subconscious so that the brain-gut connection changes.Our bodies will remember what it was like to eat with no serious side effects.

That being said I do think some foods are really bad for our systems ,so french fries are out for the time being

I have been doing the cds and I have been eating whatever I feel like.Not going crazy but not obsessing about it.I've had a few bads days but I let them go and try to move forward.I am having many more good days and hopefully by the time I am done the program,I will be all better.

I truly believe that if we live and breathe everything ibs,we will never be free from it.
