Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: 2 questions please for syl and all members

Q1 - If you are seeing a member of Dr. Whorwell's team then you should be in good hands. His team is unique in the world and concentrates on IBS. The most important thing is to be as honest and forthcoming with your IBS and general health problems as possible. You must also tell him about your eating disorder too. I suspect the GI doc will have lots of questions for you too.

Q2 - Benefiber is derived from wheat it is not wheat. Just like sugar can be derived from sugar beets it does not mean that it contains beets. Benefiber does not contain wheat. Wheat product are okay to eat in moderation. They contain SF so they are healthy.

Please post a message telling us how you appoint with the GI doctor goes tomorrow.

Good luck
