i was also diagnosed with IBS (amongst a plethora of other ailments such as arthritis, bipolar, schizophrenia ~ all redundant diagnoses as it was all simple food intolerances ) and at my own instigation i finally worked out that IBS for me was a BS label for a collection of food intolerances ……….. if i consume anything containing wheat i will get ghastly stomach aches and cramping …….. thing is, the tummy aches only appear 12 hours later making it extremely difficult to pinpoint the cause if you aren’t thinking along those lines ……. try ditching the wheat, pasta, bread products and replace them with organic brown rice or quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) …… if it is a wheat intolerance you will notice a dramatic improvement within 24 hours ……… almost as if by magic !! pretty much you need to stop eating processed and packaged foods and eat loads of leafy and green vegies, brown rice, some lean meats and fishes and some low sugar fruits such as strawberries, watermelons, pears, cantalope and blueberries ……. large ask i know but the results are dramatically beneficial…… also ensure that you stay well hydrated and drink at least 8 glasses of water daily as water is paramount for digestion, neural functioning, transporting nutrients, lubricating your joints, thinking clearly, actually for every single cellular function.
Sadly, when one is intolerant to wheat and the gluten contained therein it usually goes hand in hand with lactose intolerance (inability to digest the lactose contained in milk and dairy products) ……. be aware of your bodies reactions to food that you eat and eat one food at a time …… leaving a 2 – 3 hour gap between milk and dairy products and other foods will tell you whether or not you are intolerant ….. symptoms such as bloating, gassiness, excessive belching and burping, acid reflux, constipation could indicate lactose intolerance.
Buy yourself a book called What your Doctor may Not tell you about IBS ~ by Richard N.Ash, M.D……… and live a pain free, drug free life.
peace baby
