Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: What do you eat on a bad day?

Hi cellsalts...
Just wanted to share that I am exactly like you as far as I have severe C and rice (along with several other SF's) absolutely make it worse. Rice is the worst culprit. Also, I am not lactose intolerant (although ironically that was one of my first problems in my early teens- no idea why I am not any longer). Milk/milk products are one of the few things I can tolerate with almost NO side effects. There is no fiber - either SF/IF so I have no reaction to that. There is basically only sugar- that goes down without a hitch since it dissolves in water, and milk, which I have no problem with. When I can't eat ANYTHING- I eat plain chocolate candy bars and ice cream and I am right as rain. It's terribly sad though because you can't live on those things, but they work for me 100% with no exceptions. My bowels start moving and my bloat goes away and I have NO symptoms. Sad that eating the worst foods for you makes me feel the best. Frustrating to try and be healthy.
Anyhow, long post, but to let you know, listen to YOUR body and do what works for it. The rules on the board are guidelines.... you have to cherry pick what works for you and ignore anyone who "tsk tsk's" at you. It's your suffering, and anyone who doesn't know what it's like to have cement insides has no room to judge.
