Some people have no safe foods, and it can depend if you have diarrhea or not.However that list tends to be OK, as long as you don't prepare any of it with a lot of fat. so a boiled potato may be OK, but a fried one may not.Have you ever tried peppermint tea? And are you fretting while you are resting? Relaxation techniques would be better than resting and fretting at it. If you are going to rest at least find something to distract your mind.Try to remember yours comes and goes and focus on it going away again. When my pain was bad it was every single hour of every single day for almost a year. That yours comes and goes is a good sign it will soon go away agin.

Ah man your so lucky! I never get better from IBS, i've had mine every day for a year now (siverity comes and goes). Out of personal experience i'd say stay away from anything fatty or greasy (I know its oober tempting but stay away from McyD's

I always want their fries when i'm sicker DX), but for some people even the act of eating triggers it. (Mint tea is a good soother, btw, when you get over a particularly painful session) Do you take in enough fiber? I eat one FiberOne yogurt everyday and have 2 FiberChoice chewable tablets everyday and take in lots of water, i'm not saying that will cure you, but i've been recovering quicker than normal when I take it. I also mind-numb myself and listen to something I don't have to pay attention too (like a movie you've seen so much that you don't even need to watch it and then just drone). All-in-all, you might be like me and not get better for a while (sorry i'm just saying the truth), but that doesn't mean you should wallow, ok? You gotta do what you need to do as long as you can stand up without needing to prop yourself up on a table. CONSTANT VIGILENCE! Wallowing will make you worse, cause your stomach is connected to your head/emotions. Work hard and never give up! I shall pray for you <3
