 I too feel the same confusion in regard to diets. What causes this for me is the mixture of symptoms that I have which I believe strongly are related to fibromyalgia. Irritable bowel is only one part of the problem.
And so I've tried all sorts of approaches in regard to diet. This board has helped tremendously, especially when it was only that one symptom that bothered me. Now, I must deal with even more.
I am underweight and most of what I've learned is that I will never gain on any IBS diet, so I must be content with being thin. I would like to add something in the form of desserts for weight gaining.
On one website I'm told to allow dairy, but to avoid sugar and use artificial sweeteners. On another, I'm told artificial sweeteners are triggers, and to avoid them. I avoid both, and eat primarily lean meats, vegetables and fruits in small meals.
If I could exist without eating, I certainly would live a fuller life. It would be a wonderful relief to not have to think about food.
