Hi Everyone,
I'm new to this site and this is my first time posting. I have constipation and diarrhea as well as bad bloating. I sometimes look 6 months pregnant. I have also gained about 10 lbs in the past 6 months and cannot lose it. I was wondering, since so many of the staple foods for the IBS diet are starchy, wouldnt I gain weight if I follow it? I need to lose this extra weight and fix my bloating issue ASAP.
thanks,
Samantha

I follow the diet very strickly and I haven't gained any weight--in fact I lost at first until I got "stable". That term is very relative because I still have attacks. The difference is I now can usually explain why.

Hi Samantha
I'm also fairly new to this site. I suffer with C with bloat and gas. I am also gaining weight.
I have put on 5 lbs. since april. I have always been weight conscious and am becoming obsessed. I am unclear whether it's the bloat or weight grain from the added starches. I'm going to watch my calories.
