Feel so much better on South Beach diet - Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Message Board

I just turned 40 and I've had Gastro toubles all my life. Acid reflux, IBS, colitis attacks, constipation, diarhea, gas, bloated all the time. Basically I've always felt pretty miserable. I started on South Beach about a month ago and as a bonus most of these troubles have totally disappeared. I can even eat beans now and not have problems. It's amazing so I thought I would share.........it's really helped me alot. I still take a Nexium each day but I'm not even sure if I need to anymore and will talk to my doc about going off it and seeing how I am.

If I may ask, what is the South Beach Diet? I am now trying a diet from a book called Breaking the Vicious Cycle. Thanks!

Do a search and you'll find lots of info on it. It's basically elminating all bad carbs and bad fats and eating complex carbs and leaner proteins. I'm just so happy that my gastro problems have mostly gone away. I've suffered with reflux since I was a child so this feels great.
