Hi, I have IBS-D and FM and only recently was diagnosed. I found the general principles that Heather suggests have been great (i.e always eat some soluble fibre first before anything else). I found wheat a problem for me even though I am not a celiac or allegic to it, any preservative, especially sulphites are a REAL problem. I minimise salicylates and that helps as well. I have realised over the past few months that protein digestion is a real worry and feel that my FM is related in low protein absorption. I am 'resting' my pancreas, liver etc by avoiding most sugar, dairy, caffein and dairy. Whats left? plenty. Go back to what kids ate years ago, avoid all numbers in products, Get plenty of FRESH soluble fibre into the diet. My rule is go for food with a low HI, that is low human interference. Avoid sauces and pre-prepared packaged food. Substitute sugar in recipes to apple sauce, maple syrup if you really need a sugar fix. Hope this helps. Margy
