is it good to eat just vegetables, it seems other food triggers my ibs. even bread. some people say that eating vegetables is not enough even when eating lots of it because they are too low in calories and a person must eat 2000 per day, but if i eat that amount i get bloated, for 2000 cal a day you need to eat a lot for me.
i eat cereals too in the morning though and i add chicken breast or fish sometimes. it is true that veg are low in cal, i also exercise i gained muscle, but i lost almost 10st. i don't mind loosing weight but i hate having to eat food that don't trigger ibs, i take antispodomics but they don't always relieve pain in my case. when i have a flare i must take a lax otherwise i do rabbits. ok i have been talking abou this situation for long, but i wish i can find a solution to this ibs, it has worn my life.

" hi, i eat in the morning, apple, lunch i have veg and fish (although i think fish is yuk when boiled but we do it boiled), dinner fibre/veg soup with peaces of white meat or apples in skimmed milk. i eat like kate moss you know about her, i read about her diet and decieded to follow he steps in eating because it doesn't contain junk food that trigger ibs. nuts have oils, oils have bad reaction on my skin. i have a collegue who suffers from that too, it's a rash you develop after you eat oily/salty things.
