Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Support Group

Irritable bowel syndrome is a common intestinal disorder that is characterized by bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, cramping, and constipation. Typically no abnormalities appear during standard medical testing, and so irritable bowel syndrome is identified by the symptoms. Although irritable bowel syndrome can cause serious discomfort, the intestines are not harmed.

Ok, I've had ibs for over 10 years, so I know what my ibs triggers are, but that doesn't mean I can avoid all these things-especially as so many things I love are bad for me.
So tonight I had a proper dinner of fish and chips, with vinager and ketchup, and it was soooo good, especially as its so cold and wet in London at the moment. But boy, am I suffering now!
Just wondering what other people love to eat, but can't-or if like me, they just think sod it-I'm gonna eat it and face the concequences later!!????

Indian, West Indian and Mexican food. Boy, do I miss my chilli peppers. I used to pour that Encona hot pepper sauce over everything, but no my diet is so boring without spices.

But the biggest 'no no' for me now is heavy wheat products...like pizza bases and pasta is a real killer. Pasta is the only thing that causes intense cramp pain in my gut...and I love it so much but haven't had it for over 4 years now.

Some things I just think 'sod it' and suffer, but pasta is a definate NO.

I have crohn's and have learned to avoid: popcorn; dairy; veggies; and extreme fatty foods. On a positive note, I can eat spicy foods, chocolates. Moderation is the key! When I just have to have ice cream I take a couple of bites (of course my stomach goes to town immediately) but it is enough to satisfy me :-)

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
