Dear Tatyana,
Thank you for you speedy and thoughtful reply.
Do you find that people with IBS-C eat differently than those with IBS-D? I'm wondering if that's why I-fiber works for you. I am so frustrated at this point, I don't know what the heck to eat. I feel like throwing in the towel, getting a pizza, and see if all that food will make me have a bowel movement...
I normally eat very healthy (ahem...despite the occassional pizza). This past week, I have cut out red meat (I only eat 1 serving a month but have decided to cut it out completely). I rarely drink carbonation--perhaps once a year. I don't eat fatty foods (except for the cheese on pizza which is once a month or so), and I watch my sugar intake except for a small square of dark chocolate. Occassionally, I will treat myself to a chocolate dessert.
Isn't Dannon Activa, although dairy, supposed to be good for the digestive system?? And what about kefir?
I also usually eat a lot of oatmeal, shredded wheat, raw veggie salads, raw fruit, beans, etc. And all I drink is water. I eat small frequent meals. That's why this is all so baffling. How can IBS be rearing its ugly head again? I changed my diet years ago!
Thank you for posting your eating plan, I will check it out...but this goes against everything I know.
Best, Jana
