Vegan with IBS

Hi Jewish Princess68

I doubt very much if the fruit and veg causes you any bloating or pain, the bloating could be any number of things, Fruit and veg and brown rice combined is a really good recipe for healthy eating, along with lots of water.. 

 Certainly woudn't stop eating fruit and veg.....!!

The evidence seems to be against the fruit and veg diet.

It all depends on what fruit and what veg.   For example apples and pears sound healthy but possibly not to an ibs victim.   Among veges are things like onion, garlic and brocolli.

These are just examples and if you have an ibs problem it would be well worth yourm time to investigate the Monash University FODMAP diet.  The diet is designed for ibs sufferers and in many people it provides total relief by identifying certain foods that your body is incompatible with.  There are details in the discussion in the restless legs syndrome section under the heading Diet and Restless legs.  

As there is ''No cure'' for IBS anything that relieves the symptoms is fine, different things work for different people, ''Suck it and see'' comes to mind. Saying fruit and veg and brown rice and water is good for you ''Really is'' but it's up to the individual to choose what exactly they eat out of that category... 

I had bloating and started to drink lemon juice with some water to reduce it a bit also green tea should help, everyone is different tho what works for one doesnt always work for another but anything is worth a try see if it helps.
