I wish that were true, but when I think I am stable and want a treat and eat something like brie cheese, I will be in the crapper within a few hours. Eating tolerable food is a must to give the gut its best chance! Food is part of the treatment, along with how we eat and when, and stress, and exercise and everything. In fact, eating safely results in less stress. It is not true that watching what we eat makes more stress. And it is so not true that not bothering to think about safe food so as to not cause worry about eating a bad food could ever make a person feel better. If they have that much trouble controlling their worries eating anything they want will not change it.

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!
