IBS

So after multiple blood tests, a colonoscopy, and an ultrasound; I’ve been diagnosed with IBS. I’m so pleased that we’ve come to a diagnosis so that I can research my issue and learn more about how to balance my diet so that I don’t have to deal with IBS attacks. I’m still going to live GFCF for three months to heal my colon. I am also keeping a food log to try to figure out what foods work for my system and which ones are “triggers”.  Being GFCF still isn’t a walk in the park, but I am learning to find my favorite brands and trying to cook-from-scratch as much as possible. Veggies and fruits have been my food of choice along with some kind of meat – fish, steak or chicken.

The forum on the following website offers a lot of insight and support for individuals with IBS:
