Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I think that sounds reasonable. I would say your goal should be to make your gut as calm and happy as possible til it gets over its trauma. Hey, you could call it post-traumatic gut syndrome. PGS.

It reminds me of something similar that my MIL had 2 years ago. She had surgery near her bowels and her bowels didn't like the internal touching and after the surgery they shut down temporarily. For a couple weeks she couldn't digest and her food just came up. She said she finally understood my IBS better. So the similarity I see is that the gut is so sensitive it can take a while to function normally after a trauma.

IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
