Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

So for the past 4 days i have been really strict with myself and avoided dairy and wheat and followed heather's guidelines. I've also been avoiding high fructose foods. Previously i was just avoiding wheat and was still drinking caffeine and consuming dairy. Anyway, since i've been more committed my IBS symptoms have hugely improved!!! I've had almost no bloating and wind and have had a BM every day, with no help from supplements and medication! I haven't felt this good for about a year and a half! Also, last time i did feel this good, (i.e. the year and a half ago) i was cutting out all triggers as well as wheat but still had awful and very embarrassing stinky wind. This i believe is because i was eating high fructose foods so since cutting these out as well i've had none of this!

Thank you everyone who's been helping me and giving advice and encouragement. I don't know how long this almost symptom-free bliss will last but i'm embracing it whilst it does!

Thank you again xxx
