Anyone tried it?
Just a general tip re IBS; eat raw veg and Brazil nuts.
My husband suffers/suffered with IBS and one of the problems is getting the gut to stop being inflamed - it's so easy to get into a vicious circle with this condition.
His consultant recommended that he snacked on raw cauliflower, broccoli and carrots and also some Brazils. Over a period of weeks (it's not instant but improvement is noticeable within days) your gut will calm down and be less susceptible to flaring up so easily.
Sorry to say this but you need to check that your colon isn't torn too..!
Lesions from severe bouts of IBS can do this and mean that your diet won't make much difference until you get it sorted.
