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.

Hi, It has been sugested to me, not to eat veg or fruit , only in a tins as they will better on stomache, Going to try this. I thought fresh food was always better for you, but it is how our stomache reacts to the food.I will let you know if this helps with the pain. I have been in pain for three days.

Yes when you get in pain like that stay away from fibre, particularly fruit, veggies and nuts. I eat very plain when I have it bad. Just chicken, chicken broth and dried toast for a few days, seems to work but dead boring. Hope you get better soon.
Oh and stay away from wheat and lactose, I have gluten free toast.

well fruit on a good day to me can make it a bad day, so it's always been a no thanks! now when people act like i'm crazy for not eating fruit i can say it disagrees with my body. same with vegs infact most of those i've always stayed away from on my own but now i know some do cause more gas which is a big no for me.

i say chicken and rice is what i could live off of.

Yes exactly. I eat alot of sushi, the california rolls, they are fine on my tum and I love them, but I've now cut out all fruits and most veggies.
Last night I had a tiny bit of pineapple after dinner as I wanted something sweet and straight away I had stomach pains and grumbling, its not worth it.
