IBS, always hungry?

I have IBS and I can be hungry 30 minutes after a big meal if it's not the right one.

I eat meat, woked veggies and stay away from/minimize my intake of pasta, bread and sugary treats/drinks. Raw veggies really does nothing for me except for problems. Oatmeal really helps; I use lactose free milk or soy milk because regular milk is sometimes gives me pain/bloating/gas/trouble. I stay away from apples, I make most of my meals from scratch because semifinished products contain too much of the troublesome ingredients, also minimizing yeast intake has helped me a lot.

Try to plan your eating; having a heavy steak and no veg for dinner and then having a big salad at night is no good; the veg travels faster through your digestive system and might make gas because of the meat travelling slower.

But then again, that's me. You need to find your own way; the only way to find something better is to make changes and wait for a couple of weeks to see if it's better.

I've been diagnosed with IBS, but only after ruling out all other options, not Crohn's, UC, or diverticulitis, I don't fit all of the "classic" IBS symptoms and I suffered from a lot of pain, to the point I was on Vicodin and Percocet to help manage it. Even with the drugs the only thing that would make the pain go away was not eating for about 3 days, then I would go another 3-4 days without eating because I was not having any pain. The longest I went was 10 days, but that included a 34 day hospital stay because of the infection I had. I am prone to infections especially in the descending colon. So I would avoid food for as long as I could, then I would eat a huge meal because I was so hungry and that would just start a cycle.

I am still dealing with that tendency to skip meals then over eat, but with the help and encouragement of a good friend I am learning how to eat several small meals a day. The only things I eat that are raw are bananas and avocados. I've also greatly restricted my diet in terms of what I can eat. I avoid lots of what would normally be considered healthy, mostly high fiber leafy veggies. No citrus and no tomato based foods. No red meat, no dairy except for eggs, and a little cheese now and then is ok with me, and a lot of ensure shakes, usually about one a day, or several when I'm having a flare up and I cut the fiber down as low as I can. No gallbladder either so I have to keep the animal fats low

I may not be really qualified, I was diagnosed with a mild case of IBS after they found out it couldn't possibly be a gluten allergy.
My symptoms weren't so severe, just continuous soft bowel movements and occasional cramps where I couldn't stay away from the toilet for long.

Then I started losing weight, eating less and in particular, at least an apple a day, and the symptoms completely disappeared.
Your condition may be a totally different beast as MissPeppers said she stays away from apples.
I had heard about fibre all the time and thought that meant whole meal breads, and they never helped. Apple also happens to be fibre and I'm quite sure that that's what helps.

Everybody is different, I'd be curious to know how that would work for you.

I got crohns, but the symptoms are similar hey? What helps me is to eat smaller quantities, more frequently, My diet consists of:
Early morning: 1 Toast with slice of ham and coffee (I can't have eggs etc), banana at 10am, cup of soup at 12pm, 4 wheat crackers / yoghurt at 15:00 and then a light dinner (no carbs - mainly protein). It helped my symptoms and I'm losing a bit doing this... :-) and I think it might help with the bloaty feeling... good luck!
