Is this group still functioning? I need help with my diet while still managing ibs.
Greetings, As I mentioned in my intro, I'm new to IBS and new to this group, though I've used MFP off and on for a while. I find it great and helpful to log my foods while on the FODMAP elimination to hopefully soon figure out my triggers. So far so good on the elimination. Back to having normal BM, rather than every time…

Stress is my other trigger and it appears I have little to no control over my stress level. I have been using mfp on and off for 3 years now but I have never logged…
Have you guys ever tried the FODMAPS diet? Type it into google. FODMAPS is an acronym for different short chain carbs that don't absorb well in the small intestine. People with IBS shouldn't eat them. You can get lists of "low FODMAPS foods" (good) and "high FODMAPS foods" (bad) on the internet. I've been on it and I don't…
Hi, everyone! My name is Christine and I've been living with an IBS diagnosis since 2007. At the time, I was IBS-C with significant weight gain (I was literally full of crap!) plus uncomfortable gas. When I got my diagnosis, the woman doing my stomach ultrasound looked at me with pity and said "you must be so…
Hi, I was diagnosed with IBS/C last year and after about 4 months i thought i had the answers of what i could and couldn't eat and i was feeling good again, normal! Then i started having reactions from egg, yoghurt, wholemeal bread and other foods i've always been able to eat and now i'm lost again! I'm bloated on a daily…
