IBS is very tricky to manage. There's no cure, but you can get it under control to the point where you are pain-free.
I am a guru when it comes to this. I've had IBS all of my life. I use a combined approach to controlling my IBS. Heather's diet forms the basis of that approach. However, I go further in some areas, including eating organic and stay away from most prepared foods.
For example, I would never touch Lay's Baked Potato chips! They are full of chemicals and bound to be irritating to someone with IBS. On the other hand, Kettle makes a wonderful plain baked potato chip that tastes great and contains just three ingredients -- potatoes, a little cooking oil and salt. It is very safe if you have IBS.
If you want help, please e-mail me at belinda958@yahoo.ca and I'll be happy to do what I can to get you pain-free and feeling better.
There are no magic solutions. However, you can learn to control IBS ... instead of letting it control you. My guess is you are eating things right now that you don't realize are aggravating your IBS.
I hope you feel better soon.
Belinda
