Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

DH has had stomach problems most of his life. He turns 35 this month. He had his gallbladder removed about 10 years ago. He was also diagnosed with IBS.
He has not followed a healthy diet at all and I think its catching up with him. He only drinks Mountain Dew, he smokes, he typically only eats dinner. He loves fried, fast foods, red meat.

All of this probably explains why he has been in agony with his stomach the last few months. He even went to the ER> They ran test, etc.... Dind't find anything. So we are thikning its the IBS flaring up.
He says he is willing to do better.. He is weaning off the Mt Dew and cigs. He says he wants me to figure out the meal plan though.

Fast food and fried fooods seem to be his biggest triggers. Milk doesnt seem to bother him. Like a bowl of cereal or a turkey sandwich with cheese.

I feel like I don't know where to start. He likes very plain foods.. Nothing fancy...

I have the first year book on request at the library.

Any tips? Can anyone show me what a very basic day of food may look like?
I am going to suggest to him that he try the suggested few days of only those certain foods.

Thank you!
