Hi Lisa Marie, I have been trying to see if the vegetarian/vegan approach would work for me. I've stayed away from meat products for two weeks now (last week's BBQ was a challenge but I did it  ). I think it's working a little so far (even before I mostly ate white chicken and fish only). I'm less bloated which I find interesting as I always thought meals such as lean chicken with rice would help with bloating, not contribute to it  .
I know you are, as you say, "almost vegan", and more importantly (to me) you are someone who used to be a C and is stable now. Most people on here who are stable seem to be D. I've been trying to search your posts to find an example on the foods you eat but haven't had much success. Could you please provide me with an example of your daily menu, and also which foods you avoid (such as oatmeal, I read it gave you gas)? Gas and distention are my biggest problems, along with constipation. Do you eat wheat, and if you do, is it whole wheat, white, or a combination?
Also, you said when you started you couldn't digest soy, what was your source of protein then? It's hard for us IBS folks since we can't have all the beans like healthy people.
I've head pretty bad couple of days lately, the C hit back ( I was able to keep it at bay with Mg supplements, unfortunately I can't get Natural Calm here) but I hope to get back on track over the weekend.
Anyway, thanks for your response!
