It is taking over the forum but I don't want to say anything because Murphy's Law and all, I would probably have it! I have never done a FI test/elimination and I love fruit so much that it would be so ironically cruel!!! I think lately there has been some intimidation caused by suggesting certain things other than Heather's trigger list are causing symptoms for us. We certainly want to give our gut the best chance but stress is much more of a factor than certain non-trigger-list foods- like OMG basil for crying out loud! Sorry I know I will get FI now. NOOOOOOOO!
-------------------- 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!
