Hi my teenage son has been diagnosed with this--does anyone know of a diet that might possiblely help him out? He isn't overweight just trying to find safe food that does not trigger this. Thanks For Any Suggestions!

I had trouble w/ irritable bowels. Surprisingly, a weight loss product helped me. I did not lose weight on it, but it changed my life. I have been taking chitosan w/ my meals since may, and haven't had a symptom since, exept for one time I didn't have my pills w/ me all day. You can get them at any health food store. It is a fibre made from ground up exaskeletins of shellfish. It is marketed as a weight loss product with other effects. I did not lose weight. You should at least give it a try.
