Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: heat + humidity + beer + me = D and pain

Sorry about your day but good for you to have a new determination. It is sad when people have something they really love that they have to give up. Several people I know with tummy problems love to drink, especially at restaurants and I feel bad telling them that alcohol would have to be given up for them to feel better like me. That sucks! My thing is cheese and ice cream but it doesn't bother me too much. I know how you feel Sheri about feeling left out and weird when you don't drink what everyone else does. Personally I have never had a beer since the smell disgusts me but I do feel strange ordering water at restaurants.

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!
