newbie with a health question

[Guest guest]

Rik, you might also want to try adding bran to your diet. I use to

have a terrible problem with IBS many, many years ago. I went on a

high fiber diet with a good amount of bran. You have to gradually

add bran to your diet so you tolerate it. Then as I did the high

fiber diet, slowly but surely, I keep improving my diet till I have

had NO IBS for yrs. now. Cutting out the sugar or drastically

reducing it helps also. Coffee will make it worse too. It really

becomes a change of life style. It doesn't happen overnight, but any

positive move forward you make, reaps it's own rewards.

Good Luck,

Kathe
