the madcap marriage by allison lane. I had two hot dogs this morning and have had a stomach ache, gas and nausea . I just took a bottle of magnesium citrate.
I shouldn't have had the hot dogs. I am safe when I eat hard boiled eggs. Yesterday I had some arugula with dressing and my stomach was okay. I don't know what to do. I just had chamomile tea and am going to have ginger lemon tea. so many people have IBS. a lot of people have it really bad. I think I wrote that 1 in 4 people have stomach problems and they have gotten more in the past ten years. I have a doctor's appt on Thursday and don't think I will eat anything and just have some tea. It is at 9 and that is stressing me.
I have lost eight pounds. That is the good news. I got really stressed out about the medicare and social security.

IBS Diet Suggestions:
Eat all cooked vegetables, except perhaps cabbage, cauliflower, and broccoli – which might cause too much gas – however, if they are your favourite foods and they don’t cause problems for you, then go for them too.
Try fruits without the skins. Some people might have problems with melons, apples, and citrus fruits.
Some IBS patients benefit from increasing the fibre content of their diet. When it comes to fibre, increase this slowly and ensure a water intake of 1.5-2L/day.
Bran fibre may aggravate some symptoms of IBS so be alert for any negative reactions to this food.
Usually people with IBS can tolerate bread, pasta, rice, bagels, and crackers, in any variety including rye, whole wheat, white, gluten free, etc, unless you also have celiac disease or a gluten intolerance.
Some find seeds challenging, but experiment to see if they bother you or not.
Dairy products only cause problems for people who are lactose intolerant, so enjoy these products freely. If you have lactose intolerance as well as IBS, you could try lactose-free products or a Lactaid® pill.
Enjoy all meat, chicken and fish.
Some people have problems with heavily spiced, sauced, or fried foods.
Try choosing these snack foods: pretzels, baked potato chips, rice cakes, frozen yogurt, low fat yogurt, and fruit.
Look for low-fat items to enrich your diet.
For the foods that are potential IBS symptom triggers for you, try introducing them back into your diet by having a small portion and choosing only one trigger food at a time.
A good trick for some people is to take 1-3 tsp or three capsules of a soluble fibre supplement before a potential trigger meal. The supplement may protect against developing symptoms. Be sure to go slowly when adding fibre to your diet.
Prepare foods by grilling, broiling, baking, or steaming with little to no oil. Try using a cooking spray in place of oil.
Low FODMAP Diet for IBS
For some individuals with IBS, a diet low in Fermentable Oligo-, Di-, and Mono-saccharides, And Polyols (low FODMAP) may reduce symptoms. The premise is that food fermenting in the gut leads to uncomfortable side effects that mimic or magnify IBS symptoms. Read more about the low FODMAP diet here.
