Actually, that's not entirely true. I for instance do fine with all of those foods, except the metamucil. I can only eat very small amounts of the "gassy" veggies, but that's another issue. Looks like the doc is just trying a high-fiber diet.Now, I agree that that suggests an old-school "Eat more fiber and try to relax" approach. But it's not a bad diet for *everyone* with IBS... although it is for many.------------------JennT
