Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: IBS under control

Generally speaking dietary management approaches to IBS don't tend to remove all symptoms. They just tend to relieve many of them and allow you to function more normally.

The EFI diet does not account for some of the FODMAPs particularly fructans in wheat. The FODMAP diet is relatively new and fructans are particularly new. Gibson and Sherpherd recommend keep fructans consumption to less than 0.2 grams per serving which is about the amount in a thin slice of wheat bread. May dietitians interpret the FODMAP diet to mean no wheat which is a bit restrictive. You will have to determine through trial and error the amount of wheat you can tolerate. Some of people can eat alot more that others.
