Hi there, I'm new here too. Was just diagnosed with IBS, primarily C, after that wretched barium enema. I had almost three weeks of excruciating cramps - totally sudden onset - until my doc finally said, why don't you try a clear liquid diet? It was the first night I slept in almost 3 weeks. Just had juices, broth, jello, candy, popsicles. No pain, still a stomach that gurgles like thunder, but I was just happy not to cramp. After that, I added other liquidy foods like yogurt and ice cream (guess I'm not lactose intolerant), pudding, etc. Still no pain. Now I've added more solid foods, but I was just wondering if other IBS'ers have had this experience, where they don't get cramped up with liquids, which are usually easier to digest? I'm also taking several supplements, fiber, etc, but none of those made the difference like that liquid diet did, not that I could live on that forever. By the way, is there anything to be done about the gurgles? They are LOUD. Thanks!

Has anyone else tried the clear liquid/all liquid diet?
