Would like to hear any tips for managing IBS.

Hi Preety,
While I haven't be formally diagnosed with qluten intolerance, I went on a gluten free diet a few months ago to see if it would help my situation. And it has helped. I don't find that the diet is all that hard, since there are so many products on the market these days to eat. The one problem is finding a bread that is palatable. Bob's Red Mill carries several different bread mixes that are good. And I just made a batch of Pamela's Products that is good also. There is a lot of information on the internet that will help you out.

Thanks Joan,
I haven't been diagnosed with Gluten intolerance either, but the gluten free diet helped only for a short while. I seem to have IBS related to a lot of foods, including most grains, flavorings, preservatives, etc.
Now I find I can have plain wheat products, but not breads/cakes/cookies.
Will monitor my reports regularly and see what happens.

hi preety
i have been told i have coeliac disease (on top of everything else!) thats gluten intolerance apparently its breaking down my gut so i cant absorb food.
I have been diagnosed 5 years now, i never had symptoms i tried a GF diet found it too difficult and carried on with normal diet and i feel fine though doctors do not beleive that
I have subsituted my bread, flour and pasta, btu i do have my days when i do just eat anything and i am not stsrict in checking ingredients.
