Hello everyone. First I'd like to say Thank you. This is by far the best IBS related site I found. I have read everything I could find on this site and I also now have the "IBS Cheatsheet" on my desktop.
Just a little info on myself:
I'm 15 years old and I have been suffering from IBS for close to two years. After going to plenty of doctors, none of them have anything to say. Finally my youth doctor ( I forgot the name ) told me that I most probably have IBS. That is, after I told him I thought I have it. I did all the research I could and I came up with IBS. So finally my doctor agreed. He is sending me to a Gastro doctor soon. I saw one awhile ago who did nothing for me. This time we atleast know what I have.
Anyway, I need a very strict diet. I have finals this week and I simply can't afford a trip to the bathroom. I'll need to sit there for atleast 3 hours without a trip to the bathroom. I'm NOT allowed to go to the bathroom during this time. I thought about just not eating. I know this may seem stupid, but If I don't eat, maybe I won't have a stomache ache. Two days ago I had egg yokes and boy do I regret doing that. Atleast I know thats a trigger ( Without a doubt :/ ).
After reading around, everyone has different opinions. I'm currently taking Fibercon but I read around and Heather isn't suggesting I eat fiber ( Straight up -- Nothing else? ). I figured prunes, fruits, etc would be good for me?
So now I'm thinking about going on an extremely strict diet. What would you suggest?
Breakfast:
Noodles - ( No butter or anything )
Green Tea/Peppermint Tea
1 Fibercon tablet
Water
Lunch:
What could I possibly eat? It seems everything is bad for me. I usually have a subway sandwhich but bread is bad for me? I usually get Turkey/Lettuce/Tomatoe but Lettuce is a trigger? How about turkey on a roll? Wheat is a trigger? What can I eat?
Dinner:
Chicken ( No skin ) / Grilled Fish
Water
Snakes:
Bananas ( Sadly, I dislike them.. Oh well )
Please give me some simply suggestions. I'm going to head out to the grocerry store tommorow to pick up a few things. What would you suggest I buy?
Also: Here are a few foods I'll NEVER eat again  -
Red Meats
Milk ( This includes icecream. How can a kid live without icecream? Ouch...)
Eggs
Lettuce/Greens
Bah.. This syndrome makes life so much less enjoyable.
Thanks
