·Brand new to this forum.Recently diagnosed with IBS (mainly c often but sometimes d & always SEVERE gas pains).Was started 3 days ago on "Dicetel" (Canada) 50 mg x 3 to become 100 x 3 in 2 weeks.Also started Midol in attempt to ease pain (as seen on forum)Want to find out all I can - looking for "comprehensive" list & relevant characteristics of all foods (good, bad & indifferent).Do realize that each of us reacts differently to each food, but knowing general characteristics of each would give me a starting point.Right now, wish to eat bland, monitor results & add in other things gradually, but do not know where to start - assumptions can be wrong & often are with food characteristics.Looked at many sites - good info (but scattered only - a bit on this , a bit on that etc. - often contradictory) & forums - but little comprehensive on ALL foods potential reactivity - "in one long list".Requesting any comprehensive info sources from you good people. Have ordered "IBS Relief" (by Burstall, Vallis & Turnbull) as recommended by "Dial a Dietician" in Vancouver for a starter.THANK YOU - Jenn[This message has been edited by JenniferA (edited 12-30-2000).]
