Guest guest Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 hi sharon i found this interesting article: www.vegsource.com/articles2/harris_irritable_bowel_syndrome_print.htm. i'm vegan for ethical reasons, but i've just read The China Study and would be going vegan for health reasons (diabetes, cancer, heart disease, MS, autoimmune diseases, stroke.....) if i weren't already! the basic theme is that we're eating way too much protein - i hope you'll read the book, it really is fascinating. i'm sure the ibs/protein issue is also addressed on the PCRM website, but i can't seem to access it at the moment. best wishes alice On 19 Jan 2007, at 06:59, Sharon Cercone wrote: > I am very dairy and gluten intolerant, but still eat lean protein > (sorry - I > know some people do not like animal products discussed, or the > consumption > of them mentioned in this group).
