Thanks! Celery is not exactly to be recommended for anyone with IBS-C either, it just paralyses everything (in my experience). Heather's diet is certainly commendable when it comes to SF and IF and it certainly is better tailored to my IBS too than the FODMAP approach, because while I have problems from both mushrooms (SF, but problemfood-fodmap-wise) and celery (IF but not problemfood-fodmap-wise), celery is probably a million times worse. But I'm trying to understand my own IBS, and mushrooms do cause me problems as does beetroot. So that's why I assumed that the FODMAP approach is valid for me as well.
That said, that chart says that couscous should be avoided, which for me has worked just like brown rice, ie moves the bowels wonderfully, same style wholewheat bread does for healthy individuals. Talking of bread, again the mind boggles as to why, especially since there is no other type of wholewheat bread/bread with bran in it that does not majorly upset my stomach, but this otherwise atrocious (due to additives and if the price is any indication) type of bread causes me no problems whatsoever and acts on my digestive system like brown rice: http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/asda-compare-prices/Bread/ASDA_Smartprice_Medium_Sliced_Brown_Bread_800g.html
I have not the faintest idea why though!
