Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

There have been a great number of posts lately about the EFI diet being unhealthy/weight gaining because it supposedly is all about white bread. I am trying to dispel that myth.
I do feel whole grains are as healthy as they say. I feel that we should eat as nature intended- like many, many years ago. There are movements to eat that way now but most are just an excuse to eat lard, butter and bacon again! So the problem with this new thinking of eating healthy by adding things like whole grain or butter instead of trans fats (the dreaded trans fats- what about cholesterol? stupid people) is that people don't go 100% but just add a little whole wheat to their donut laden diets. That is my opinion on the diet trends of 2009.

--------------------
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!
