or has anyone had similar ...

I kinda was thinking the same as above... Too much fibre is hell for me in the bowel department. It took years to Taylor diet to stay comfortable and knowing what triggers are and to have the necessarys ready if I do fancy that pint of larger for the next day.

IBS is a horrible thing to suffer and diet is the first thing to go through to help yourself when everything else has been ruled out.

Start with a food diary and symptoms afterwards... You'll probably find as you learn your triggers you'll more or less be able to control it better on your own without tooing and frowing to doctors worried about a new symptom.

thanks im making a diary at the moment , im so anxious and stressed im eating very little at the moment , so all in all not helping myself to well today.
