Diets are Personalized
I've had several people recommend certain books, certain diets for me to follow. I've read them all and realized quickly that an "IBS Diet" is about as realistic as an "IBS Solution". I've been testing and testing suggestions for the better part of my life. In fact, my good foods and bad foods change constantly throughout time. For awhile there, I was a mess after eating soy ice cream but now I can tolerate it. Too much shrimp will tighten everything, but many of the solution diets base their recipes on shrimp. Spicy stuff? That's touch and go as well (I do make sure there is no oil). My point is, you really have to evaluate your own solution. This is such a unique and little known about syndrome that you can't base your diet on someone else's experience.
