Today is my first day on the site, The other day I was diagnosed with IBS and I am struggling to find the correct diet. I have never been happy with my weight and I love breads, Italian and Mexican food. So I am using this as an opportunity to become a happy and healthy weight.

Can anybody give me advice on dealing with IBS
I hope some one can help!

    I have IBS too and it sucks. The doctor talked about putting me on a gluten free diet and I pretty much just laughed. I have cut back a lot on the breads but also eating more fiber or at least trying. I also take Align (not sure if that would help you or not). You can add me if you want. I still eat pretty much everything I was just within moderation. Good luck!
  • Thanks so much much! I'm from Ireland and I don't think i've heard of align!
