100% WORKING TREATMENT for my IBS!

I reread your entries and I don't see much on your diet. I think diet is THE most important factor here. If your car is not running properly, konking out, stalling etc..wouldn't you check the gas tank to see if there's petrol in there...and what kind; if it is compatible with your vehicle? 

This is your digestive system so what goes in must be the highest priority. 

 Believe me, nutritionists recommend 6 - 10 fruits and veggies per day as a basic diet. It is not a special diet at all. Consider this as an example of a 'normal' healthy diet:

Breakfast: berries and an apple...maybe as a smoothie in a blender with milk or better still, almond milk with added protein powder...or an egg. Maybe a toast if you are relatively active.

Lunch: a sandwich with GREEN lettuce in it (not iceberg which has no nutritional value). Carrots and celery sticks, red pepper which is very digestible and cauliflower in a baggie. A ripe banana for dessert.

Dinner: a piece of meat the size of a deck of cards, broccoli, beets (from a jar) with a beautiful salad of GREEN lettuce with sliced radishes and cherry tomatoes. 

If you eat potatoes because you are more active, that's fine.  But the above is a typical daily diet. And I will bet that our great grandparents ate this 'normal' way because there was no frozen, processed, prepared foods, junk food, fizzy drinks, crisps and greasy take out back then. I think we have lost our way...and our digestion is paying the price.

Just a suggestion to pay attention...a lot of atttention to what you eat. Veggies and fruit will keep you regular. maybe some fybogel or other form of natural psyllium could help or magnesium at bedtime. 

I am neither a rat, mice, chimp or beagle!

Test it on humans not animals to be fair. Its inhumane.

I am a human!

As such its not fair to test on animals is all I am saying.

But you tested on yourself, so fine.

i am really pleased you have got back to normal I have been suffering from a 'bad gut' now for around 12 months + the Docs said it's stressed related which I believe I do not suffer from, my diet isn't bad but I've tried stopping Milk which seemed to work for a week or so but then the bad uncomfortable gut & repeated (5/ 7a day) visits to the toilet returned. I used to love choc buicuits with my tea but have also stopped chocolate . I'm now thinking it s bread/wheat etc, but after reading your post it may be similar to what you've said. I also eat pretty well these days very rarely have a take out etc, although the worst things I have are beer & choc buiscuits with a cuppa. Anyway I'm going to look into what you said and try it, then may be I can still have the odd beer and cup of tea with a choc buiscut like I used to.

Thanks for yor interesting post, as I have lost faith in the docs too.

The poor bloke tries to help ppl by posting his experience and ppl slate him on diet and seem to pick holes in what he is saying. If something works would you not want to eat the bad stuff after treatment to verify the treatment? I would and do the same. 

Junk food maybe bad for you but  the body should be able to tolerate a varied diet and not have diahrrea like battery acid from a Big Mac meal lol.

People seem to say diet is the key...that's rubbish in my opinion. How can you keep to a strict diet, improve symptoms then randomly have and 'ibs attack'. Also how can (for me) have a balanced diet for 27 years then all of a sudden have to diet 'like a freak' just to partially relieve some symptoms of ibs? Diet is important buy not the cause of ibs.

I'm going to try what you have suggested. I think it makes sense and I have suspected. Sibo for a while.

Thanks for all your advice and help on this post.
