They are safe because of soluble fiber -- but some people are prone to gas and so should watch out for veggies that might cause those problems. Carrots might not be your trigger -- but they might be. Keeping a food and stress diary could help. That's right. It could even be stress -- or not enough exersize or too much. It could also be that you haven't taken any soluble fiber supplements yet. With IBS it is often a balancing act -- and it takes a while to get your body in balance. Even then you will have setbacks -- you just recover from them faster -- and your IBS doesn't ruin your life anymore. You know how to control it. Everyone is an individual though --a nd you have to learn how to control what triggers your body -- what sets it off. There are some guidelines -- but just like some people have higher metabolisms or higher or lower body temps --- some people need to avoid different foods or use different combinations of supplements and fibers to keep their IBS in check. This will take time -- it will not be an instant fix.
