as long as your diet is balanced in nutrients you should be fine. most American's are NOT getting what their bodies need but what they think they need.
We only need at most 20% of our calories to be protein. A healthy adult needs approximately 1 gram of protein to Kg of bodyweight. Thats it..
We need about 20-30% of our CALORIES to be fat- fat is 9kcal/gram (protein and carb are 4 kcal/gram).
The balance of 50-60 percent should be carbohydrates.
That includes fruits and vegetables, but then again, you can get the nutrition in other ways.. and btw- as a LONG time IBS sufferer (and member here since 04), I can tell you that there are some veggies I can't have at all, but others I can have if they are well cooked. Each person has their own triggers, experiment. Also- if you are C, you can normally deal with more insoluble fiber than if you are A or D.
BUT some veggies and fruits are soluble. those include carrots, apples, bananas, and other things... and many IBS'ers can handle JUICES.. so that or pureeing things can be another option..
