I know I have posted about this before. I am still trying to come to a conclusion about whether gas-causing foods that don't cause C or D, should be avoided like foods that are triggers for C or D. I love Luna bars so I can't easily give up inulin; when I often eat soy, broccoli, oatmeal, granola, beans, etc- known to be gassy things too (just go hiking with my hub after oatmeal and granola! or go on vacation with him after a B&B breakfast with sausage and eggs!  ). If certain foods cause gas in most people, would it be worse in someone with IBS? or if they have gas all the time anyway, would inulin or beans make it much worse? And if beans cause gas too why aren't they considered a trigger like inulin is? And since soy is something that takes time to get used to and gas is lessened, what other gassy foods can the body get used to? I heard eating beans regularly reduces their raffinose-triggered gas, might other foods be like that? Other healthy foods I mean. I would never try to encourage eating unhealthy *and* bad for IBS food.

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!
