Hi everyone,
I am new to this website, but I'm very glad to see so many people who are able to live better lives through new diets and lifestyle changes! It definitely gives me hope!
I have always had stomach problems for as long as I can remember, but just over the last few months, I have finally been diagnosed with IBS and SIBO (with constipation problems) by both my doctor and my nutritionist. The nutritionist has suggested that I avoid gassy vegetables, cheese, bananas, and that I should cut back on my carbs. I was vegetarian before I was diagnosed and am slowly adjusting to minimal additions of chicken, fiber one, and probiotic yogurt. Over the last few months, I am slowly beginning to feel better (maybe the SIBO is finally going away?), but I am nervous for what the spring's long-distance hiking season will bring with this IBS. Although I am a big hiker, I haven't taken anything beyond day trips over these last few months.
Is there anyone out there who is also an avid backpacker and has IBS problems? What do you do for backwoods meals? I've had my share of Lipton Rice Packets, Mountain House, and others, but I am not so sure that many of these meals will suffice.
I'd really like to be able to take some week to two-week backpacking trips this year.
Send me your advice.
Thanks, and I can't wait to get to know you all better!
