And although both grandparents died of colon cancer, my GI doc says it isn't necessary until you are older since they are more hazard to IBS than help. That is only if IBS runs in your family (or genes ) and you are a classic case.
-------------------- 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!
