[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 573599, member: 84"] Oh, my. I'm sure that doctor has good reasons for that diet but ...........uh, no. Not for me anyway. Years ago back when I spent 2 yrs in hospital getting surgery after surgery for my kidneys is when my IBS went into severe mode the first time. Nothing doctor tried could get it to settle down again. In agony and basically unable to leave the house, I took matters into my own hands. I went bland........as in a basic bland diet. Not one darn thing to aggravate my then super sensitive bowels. No spices, heaven forbid NO corn or pop corn (It seriously will make you GO! bad idea right now), tomatoes (including sauces ect) doubled me over.......no fruit at all (stimulates the bowels). I did this for about 3 months. It took that long to calm my IBS back down. Then, I reintroduced food items slowly one at a time. Sort of like when you introduce a baby to baby foods. If a food triggered it, I didn't eat it again. Didn't mean I could never eat it again.......just not at that point. Once I can get my IBS calmed down again it will stay that way for a very long time. Then I can basically eat any darn thing I want. But I know everyone is different. But I am seriously thinking some hormones/ medications/ genetically modified stuff is suspicious because while I know folks didn't used to talk about this sort of thing........I doubt it would've been hidden well. So it makes you wonder wth they're doing to our food?? [/QUOTE]
