Diet for IBS & cervical dysplasia

[Guest guest]

My name is ...I just joined this group over the weekend because I need

some advice on how to balance my nutritional needs between 2 different health

issues.

I was dx with IBS-C in college. I recently found the site www.helpforibs.com,

where the author suggests lots of soluble fiber for IBS. The recommendation is

for lots of rice, pasta, sweet potatoes, bananas, etc., & to be very careful

with adding insoluble fiber foods (raw produce, whole grains, etc.) She also

recommends no dairy, coffee, alcohol, & other known GI irritants. I loosely

followed her reccomendations for a while with pretty good success. Then I

discovered I have high grade cervical dysplasia.

I did a ton of research & decided I want to treat the dysplasia naturally, using

supplements & diet changes. So I totally cut out the coffee & alchol, replaced

them with green tea, & started eating more fruits & veggies, especially

cruciferious veggies, eating less meat (esp red meat), & avoiding refined sugar

& flour (the constant prodding & scoping has caused recurrent yeast issues). I

was feeling good about this, until the IBS flared up again. Seems there's

something to the soluble fiber thing after all.

So, now what to do? I just don't know enough about nutrition I guess to figure

out a diet that's beneficial for both issues. Any advice would be appreciated.
