your diet will change for life to a point for certain, and yes it takes time to emotionally accept that. but even though the thought of it might kill, the reality of it is much easier. it feels so good to feel better, that not eating certain things (esp when you have replaced them with other yummy things) is a small sacrifice. it also helps me, since I am so interested in health, to know that the things I am cutting out because of ibs are those that have such a bad reputation with reference to overall health and serious diseases. i feel self respect for taking care of myself. the trick for me is to learn to cook and treat myself and present my food nicely, as opposed to eating bland rice out of a foil container and munching on a carrot stick. so many times people have been jealous of my meal because I make it looks so appetising! the best way for me to notice my own triggers is to first go on a diet soooo bland without any known triggers for a while and then introduce foods and watch what happens! good luck!
