I have felt lately that some of the posters/newbies might be confused into thinking fruit is bad for IBS. There has been a great deal of talk about avoiding fructose and this can lead some to think it is forbidden- just like a lot of talk about gluten intolerance can make people think gluten is bad for IBS. IMO the regular posters need to make sure that everything they advise is strictly to Heather's plan because that is what we are here to talk about.
-------------------- IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
