Frankly, I'm not convinced you have IBS. You may want to see another doctor. Many doctors just use IBS as a catchall disease when they don't know what else to say. But if you are negative for parasites and such that is a good start. If your symptoms are stress related but not necessarily just IBS, the IBS diet would still be beneficial.
Eating lean and high in protein can fit fine into the IBS diet. I use rice protein, eat luna bars, nuts and egg whites. I have upped my protein to 70 grams a day or so. I find rice protein a better idea than soy protein. (If you eat eggs please buy cruelty free. Sorry, I have to say that to everyone.)
-------------------- 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!
