Thanks, Nancy -- my friend (age 78) has had about 40 inches of colon removed, and has been moving to the kind of diet you are describing. He is presently eating somewhat (?) macrobiotically -- and had "very stinky and gaseous stools" before that. if you'll pardon my medicalese. ;-) He did 10 days of CS (1 graduating to 3 tablespoons 4X/day) with food, to help get it to the lower bowel, and has now begun a weekly 1 day brown rice-and-miso fast. I'm now suggesting CS during the fast, probiotics during the week. Does this make sense to anyone? After the 10 days of CS, the stinky bowls smell almost not at all, according to his grateful wife. Any other suggestions? His doctor is astonished at the turnaround, since he was literally at death's door and had been sick all his life. We're flying blind here, but with some rationale at last! Perhaps it's time to call it "irritated bowel" to recognize the enormous part food plays in this! Judy Down Maine

Specifically cooked tomatoes, and wheat and gluten grains caused problems and eliminating them from my diet has resolved my problems. I've been following the Budwig diet which also helps with eliminating problem foods and normalizing the metabolism and digestion. Grains allowed are Buckwheat, Rice, Millet, Quinoa, and Amaranth. I would suggest an elimination diet to see if specific foods are an irritant. Gluten is causative in Crohn's and Celiac diseases as well.
