The doctors told me I had irritable bowel syndrome. And the only thing a noticed that actually works is to eat the least amount of fiber as possible. And to avoid everything that is “enriched” with fiber. I can eat some vegetables or legumes with almost no problem but I tend not to eat too much of those. This way I can live almost like I was before being diagnosed. Everywhere I read that eating fiber is good and I can’t find anyone else that shares my experience.
It works fairly well for me, yeah. Foods high in fiber or starch can really upset my system.
But for me anxiety about having to use the bathroom ran over all my other symptoms. Now that my anxiety is under better control I can relax a little with the diet and have broccoli now and again, or a salad.
Oh, and get a bidet. Trust me.
The ones with heated water… Shit I almost miss my ass.
