Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | HELLO AND WANTED AN OPINION

HI everyone-
Sorry i dont have a pic yet and this is my first time posting. Anyway- I first wanted to say THANK YOU to Heather...what a brilliant site with lots of great and helpful info. I am kind of new to IBS-C but it has made the last 6 months of my life miserable. I am starting to get back on track with the help of some of the diet guidelines along with a fiber supplement and exercise has helped a bit. I have also found that plain yogurt With the probiotics ( i like the stonyfield ) seems to help wonderfully.It is suppose to really help with balancing the intestinal flora. I actually mix in my fiber supplement with the yogurt b/c I cant stand the taste in juice and it mixes very well and tastes like a treat..sometimes i add a hint of splenda to it !!! I have not been able to give up the coffee though and for me I find that 2 cups in the morning really seems to help me to have a BM..is it really that horrible??? Also- I find that spinach is even more constipating.Is this a food I should stay away from? Maybe because of the iron content I dunno??? Anyone else have this experience. Anyway hope you all are feeling well because I certainly do sympathize and I would love to hear everyones input. I am still getting familiar with the diet guidelines and the site itself

REGARDS
