I was diagnosed with IBS-C about 7 weeks ago. What a relief it was to find out that there was really something wrong, after suffering with stomach aches and pains which seemed like forever I decided to go to the gastroentologist. The pains and bloating are the worst, most days I just wouldn't eat because the only time I felt good was when my stomach was empty. I immediately went online and discovered this website, it is awesome! I ordered both of Heather's books and read them cover to cover. I am starting to get the hang of the diet, but my problem is I cannot eat anything high fiber, and most fruits and vegetables cause spasms almost immediately, so I am afraid to try them again. I am a little overwhelmed right now because it is really hard to figure out how to eat especially since most of my diet consisted of healthy salads, lots of fruit and vegetables and now I can't tolerate them. I am able to eat soy, which I really like and bananas are the only fruit do far that I can eat without getting the spasms. I mostly eat turkey and chicken and tuna. Does anyone else with IBS-C have trouble with high fiber foods, salad and veggies? I noticed there are alot of recipes on this site, and will start to use some of those along with my IBS cookbook. Also, my doctor prescribed Bentyl for my spasms and I can't believe how much better I feel, and my stomach bloating is gone. I feel like a new person, just a little overwhelmed...
