I was diagnosed with IBS with D. My dr. Told me not to take magnesium. He told me to take  1 tsp of Metamucil and increase to 1tbsp if no results. He gave me a sheet of paper with the FODMAP diet to follow. I found the Monash university app on the internet which helps me see if items are good for me or not. Monash  university is in Australia and is one of the foremost  leading research centers in IBS. My symptoms were so debilitating that I could barely get out of bed. I felt some relief immediately following this diet. My distended belly went down and I feel I have some hope at getting better.  I have totally illuminated foods that are bad on the FODMAP diet. Now I evaluate all foods before I put them in my mouth. I consider them like poison to my body. I will continue on my road to health and wish you the best and hope this might help. Nancy
