Diet certainly plays a big part with me Bettyboo, to be honest, though, I think I'm better with less fibre. When I take my fruit, yogurt, wholemeal toast etc in the mornings Im running about three times. However, if I just grab a banana and cup of tea I seem much better?
Sugar I think plays havoc with IBS, and interestingly Cazlikins mentioned gravy. Its a big no no for me, I read its to do with whatever is in the thickening agent, same with cream or ice cream. Definite NO NO's
I exercise fairly well with walking , not so much at the minute as I have a painful back,but again, need to make sure Im somewhere close to a toilet in case I get the " rush" Not always convenient (scuse the pun ) but exercise certainly moves things along.
