Default Low Fiber

I have been tenatively diagnosed with IBS. Eating foods high in fiber seem to cause major cramps and illness. Alot of the places I am looking, the best diet recommended is Low Calorie, High Fiber. Since I can't do the high fiber, how does one diet effectively?

Default Re: Low Fiber

This is a tough one....but I do have a suggestion. I was diagnosed with IBS a few years ago (by two different drs. actually) and even had surgery twice after severe flair ups and abcesses. 2 yrs ago I had another bad bout of cramps, diarreah (sp?) and was back in the hospital. I was sent to a specialist at Sacred Heart Hosp. after a colonoscopy showed abcesses again. This specialist told me to try something that he thought would take care of the problem...it was so simple I thought he was most certainly wrong, but I gave it a shot and have had no problems in the last 2 years! I can eat all the foods I had given up....I swear it was a miracle. He said "give up dairy products for two months and see what happens." Many women develop lactose intolerance, it causes all the symptions of IBS, Diverticulitis, Crohns Disease and more. I can still eat yogurt, but gave up all other dairy. It might be worth a try. Good luck with this.....s
