    Can you give me a list of foods that contain fibre?

    I have IBS and must eat foods that contain fibre.  IBS  is irectable bowel syndrone.  This means that I have problems with my bowels due to Fibromylgia Disease.  This is one of the side effects of this disease.  I cannot eat white potatoes. tomatoes, egg plant, green peppers, squash with white insides, or white onions, they have to be coloured.  I also have to obstain from white bread, or drink milk or any items that contain lactose.  No cheese, ice cream, cottage cheese.


    Coffee or any caffiene  also are a no no.


    I am allowed to drink Soya milk and I must use Benefibre 2x's a day, 1 tsp each time.


    If you can help me I would really appreciate it.  Thank You

    My email address is in your records as I had to join in order to obtain any answers. My age is 65 yrs old. I was diagnosed with this disease in 1998. If you would give this to your doctor he should be able to answer this question. I am a female.

    Your doctor can refer you to a nutritionist. Go to your doctor and ask for a referral and don't get overwhelmed. A lot of people sit in the same boat as you.

    Follow the diet you were given by your doctor..........


     

    Broccoli, winter roots: carrots, parsnips, rutabagas, kabotcha squash(looks like a big green pumpkin), leafy greans like kale and collards, eat celery all day long! Also brown rice but If you want good fiber do an all vegetable for a while

    Look up 'Canada Food Guide'... jam packed with good information.


    There is also lots of information available through health food and nutrition stores.  You have lots of choices ... you just have to cook a little differently for yourself.  Quinoa is delicious... a new world is opening up for you.  Thinking about it this way helped me... I have severe allergies and I am celiac.
