Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Chris from what I know IBS is usually caused by a wheat allergy. Anything with wheat will trigger the symptoms. There are sites with recipes for those who have this problem - http://www.panix.com/~donwiss/ Try a web search for Celiac Disease. There are some really good articles about this disease and many recipes without gluten. - Jenny ______________________________\ _______ Kira Barnes wrote: > useful website: http://www.eatingforibs.com/ > > Hope that helps > > Much vegie-friendly, other than chicken and fish recipes. > > Kira > > > Chris <chris_vermeulen wrote: > Hi Everyone > I need to know if there is a home remedy/relieve for Irritable Bowel > Syndrome. > If anyone has info on this please share it with me as my mother is > suffering > from IBS and it has changed her life.

Hi Chris I also have IBS-D variety. I don't know what your mom has, but my bowel was very bad. The doctor said live with it... nice guy! Anyways, I researched a fair amount, and now am basically symptom free.I changed my diet. No more meat or dairy. Also I quit all caffeine and soft drinks. Ask her to try this for a while to see if it helps. Also food journaling helps. When you do this, often you will find foods that trigger attacks... Hope this helps. If you have any other questions feel free to ask. ******************************************************************************* To post to list via e-mail: send e-mail to " Veg-Recipes " To post to list via website: Veg-Recipes/post To contact List Owner: " Veg-Recipes-owner " Subscribe or Un through site: / OR Un via e-mail: Veg-Recipes- Calendar: Veg-Recipes/calendar Bookmarks: Veg-Recipes/links Photos: http://photos.Veg-Recipes/lst Read or search old messages: Veg-Recipes/messages ******************************************************************************* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Hi Chris: I'm 37 and I've had IBS for a number of years. I know there are new mediations available for IBS suffers but I haven't tried them myself. I believe IBS is something that can be controlled with self help. For me, diet and exercise helped a lot. Especially stomach exercises! I found my IBS triggers when I'm really stressed and not taking proper care of myself. Diet is really important. Your mom may find certain foods trigger her IBS than others. I started keeping a journal of what I ate and soon found a pattern to when I wasn't feeling well due to my IBS. I also found a homeopathic remedy on MOthernauture.com called Silicea (Silicic Acid). Silicea is used for bowel problem but also acts as a skin healing agent (acne). I've never had any side effects from it and I only take it when my IBS is acting up. Hope this helps. IBS can be a very stressful and uncomfortable situation but it IS manageable. Take Care!

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Hi Chris, I suffered from IBS when I was younger. I couldn't eat out and vacations were miserable for me. I started eating cereal with fruit every morning (mostly Cheerios with a banana or raisin bran) and cut back on protien and the symptoms disappeared. If i skip the cereal a couple of days I'm in trouble again.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 Chris: I posted a reply to you yesterday but it didn't post for some reason so I'm trying it again..... I am 37 (yikes!) and I've had IBS for a number of years. ( " HI SAM! " I feel like I'm confessing a drinking problem or something) Anyways, there are medications on the market to help IBS suffers. I've never tried them myself. I've found that diet and especially exercise are a big part of controlling this demanding condition. Your mom really should start to keep a journal. A journal of what she eats along the side of her condition. If she is like some woman I know she will soon see a connection between her IBS and certain foods she eats. I also found a homeopathic remedy called Silicea (Silicic Acid. I bought this at mothernature.com. I came across this remedy for IBS by accident. I was actually looking for something to help my adult acne (boy, aren't you learning a lot about me today!) Silicea also helps in the bowel department. I've never had any side effects from it and I only take it when needed to help stay " regular " . OK well now....now that you know more than any stranger should know about me.....just remember diet and exercise.....water and green tea....any veggie green!...its an annoying condition and some times embarrassing too but it can be controlled or managed.....take care, Sam.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Hello Chris, people who have IBS are not all sensitive to the same types of food. It helps some people to cut out dairy and wheat products, but that doesn't help all IBS patients. For example, gluten and milk don't do me (IBS since childhood) any harm at all, but anything rich in fibre will. Also heavy foods like meat. Actually anything that contains lots of protein or fat (i'm definitely no candidate for an Atkins diet..). To keep a diary of the foods eaten and also of the stress level is a good idea. Once the connection between a certain food item/stressy situation and IBS is established, it can be avoided. Most IBS patients report that they feel better when they eat at fixed hours every day. The vast majority is sensitive to onions, and also to garlic. I've had the best results with a diet consisting of lots of carbs, vegs that aren't too heavy in fibre, fruit mixed with yoghurt or whipped cream, and no solid foods in the evening, to give the bowel a rest (only milk and soups). The good thing about IBS is that i'm never ever going to have to diet to loose weight ;-) Good luck to your mum. I wish her all the best.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 Stop eating Gluten products first. Gluten is found in Wheat and some other grains. YOu may have an allergy to it. check w a Gasteroenterology doctor or look for casein free and gluten free diet receipes on the internet.
