Thanks Nick! I like the picture above the symptom list. DonnaZ

Thanks Donna,
I think your Idea of dapping of the grease is good. I think that Grillingn your meat is the best way to cook it. This alows the grease to cook out and the meat doesn't sit in the grease. Also notably I have found that dairy products cause gas and constipation which can cause IBS Episodes to flare. Some days I am afraid to eat fight my fear of food is a  terrible obsticle in my life. Having Ibs has definately changed me.

I have realized over the last 5 years that I am not alone. I think that is the key to making it though the rough times.

It has been good chatting Talk soon!
Smiles,
Lisa

Hi again Lisa, I have lactose intolerance too, so must be careful with dairy products. I do indulge in ice cream though, because I just can't keep from having it occasionally. For me the dairy products cause the gas you mention, but I get diarrhea instead of constipation. I have recently been taking the lactaid tablets with dairy products. They help some but only a little! Take care, DonnaZ :)

I love the butterfly picture, Nick. Thanks for stopping by again. DonnaZ
