Here is how I cured my IBS-D!

I want to share with the Community what diet CURED the IBS-D that had tortured me for half my life! It may or may not work for everyone, but it healed my IBS within two days; four months later, I am still healed. I now know to eat LOW-RESIDUE. I avoid high-fiber food. I avoid nuts, seeds, fruit/vegetable skins, whole grains, corn, peas, beans, etc. I eat fruit only rarely, and I am able to eat raw salads in moderation. I eat as much as I want of refined starches like white bread, white rice, white pasta, fried potatoes, whipped potatoes. The other key element to this cure is to get plenty of acidic food/drink such as limeade, lemonade, vinegar, tomato juice, and tomatoes (the soft seeds in tomatoes do not hurt me). I had suffered for 31 years with debilitating abdominal cramps, chronic diarrhea, and severe extreme intestinal gas. Good luck-- this works perfect for me, and it just might be the cure you are hoping to find.

this diet sounds like everything exactly opposite to what is recommended.  Therefore, I'm trying it!  Nothing else has worked and my intuition keeps telling me to eat pasta......perhaps this is the answer for me.  How did you know to drink the acidic drinks?  Will wine work?
