120 pound journey

eating for ibs

Can we talk?

I am struggling. Again. Life. Ups & downs.
You know what I mean.

Food & stress have been triggering my IBS. Yuck!
So it's time to get serious about my IBS diet.

Years ago, when I found out I had IBS, i read up on it.
I found this amazing book, Eating for IBS,
by Heather Van Vorous.
It helped me tremendously.
I got my IBS under control AND lost 30 pounds.
Well, over time,
I started eating foods i shouldn't have been eating
and, well, eventually gained the weight back.

The IBS diet cuts out many foods that trigger attacks.
Some of the foods are easy to give up, others, not so easy.
In addition,
Heather offers other tips to help get IBS under control.
I need to take care of my body,
so I am embarking on Heather's IBS Diet again.

What I plan on doing is eliminating one trigger food a week.
I will share some of her tips as well.

This week:
I am eliminating red meat.
According to Heather this includes meat from cows, pigs, deer, etc.
I have cut out red meat from cows for over a year now, the pork will be my challenge. I can do it though. I am determined to take care of my body.
