heather's diet for ibs seems high in the carbo department. anyone try it? Does it help? I have tried it- and the fennel tea and no coffee and no wheat, and no dairy= and not much helps w/ the gas =What is better- more low carb? I can barely eat any type of vegetables= I thought avacado and artichoke would be ok, and now I wonder about that?Any suggestions, ? I am so tired of having gas most of the time .

hey i am getting a bit concerned because every time i eat a sandwich or bread i get a very bloated belly and i feel so tired, i also feel week and dizzy slightly, i am thinkin that i may have a wheat in tolerance or something but not sure, is this normal?

hi, rice is the only carb that does not produce gas.i think most vegetables and fruit do because of the roughage. i have been sufering with bad gas,nausea and abdominal pain for some time.if i drink fizzy drinks i get abdominal pain.i was wondering,if maybe we have a problem where the body does not deal with gas in the normal way such as burping? im interested in any comments,but please forgive my bad spelling and grammer.

I also tried heather's ibs diet but found it didn't help much. If you think you have gluten-intolerance (celiac disease), get a blood test from doctor b4 you try cutting it out, or the antibodies won't show up and u can get a false negative result. If it shows up positive u will get referred to dietician + (in UK)prescribed free gluten free bread +flour.Be wary of trying exclusion diets on ur own! Last year I tried cutting out wheat and gluten, still had ibs (and got v.skinny)+ found it v.difficult to reintroduce them. I felt weak and dizzy after eating bread which I think was my blood-sugar going haywire after avoiding carbs for so long.If I'm going somewhere overnight I eat low carb for a few days b4, eg. lots of lean protein like chicken, less than 4 slices bread per day + no other carbs, small amounts fruit and non-cruciferous veg.
