You are correct. Cheese is known to be constipating to people in general, but for those with IBS it can cause D or C. I had to go without a meal today at a restaurant that had nothing safe to eat. Everything had cheese, was high in fat and/or had red meat. I pointed out there wasn't anything on their menu without cheese. When stable, I think the safest way to cheat with cheese is a teeny bit of parmesan (hard and low fat) in a low fat meal, once in a while, when feeling fine.
-------------------- 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!
