Thanks, I probably will as time goes on. I've been doing a lot of reading and have found some conflicting information. Yesterday I downloaded the Kindle version of the the second edition of IBS-Free at Last, which supposedly has been updated with the latest research from Australia, so that's what I'm using now.
A lot of it makes sense to me - the fact that I can eat something one day and be fine, but it'll bother me the next, the "cumulative" effect I tend to get (I can eat a little of something and be ok, but try to eat it too often and it gets me), the fact that certain cheeses (a known IBS trigger) have never been a problem for me. I intend to follow the diet closely, only cutting out additional items that I know from experience give me trouble (certain fruits and veggies, high fat etc.) The hardest part is giving up honey, which I use in my tea! Sugar is just not the same - first I have too little, than too much... I'll adjust in time, I'm sure.
