Does anyone else here have IBS? I don't eat a raw food diet but find that salads and steamed vegetables are my safest foods. Cooked protein, grains, nuts and legumes are my worst foods and one thing linking all of these is that they're nutrient dense, as opposed to watery. They're also high in anti-nutrients but I have a problem with cooked meat as well, which has no anti-nutrients. It could be I've got low stomach acid which maybe isn't strong enough to break down these foods properly. Apart from the IBS I don't have any other health issues. I doubt I could eat raw meat but I love oysters and don't mind raw sea scallops so will try these next.

This is my first post where I had the best day with no IBS symptoms at all after this diet. Yesterday I had much the same diet but with 3 pieces of liver instead of just 1 and it's going to be a bad day. Also in the above post the liver was simmered in broth. Yesterday the liver was fried. To be completely gas-free I seem to need foods that have a high water content so they're accessible to digestive fluids. I'd love to know the actual science behind this. But most gas for me is from carbs or meat that doesn't digest efficiently.

Hello

I've had IBS all my life but recently found a complete remission of symptoms by the following diet:

Breakfast: steamed green beans, carrots, pumpkin & zucchini. A pot of black tea.
Lunch: salad vegetables: cucumber, gherkins, olives, cherry tomatoes, carrot
Dinner: beef bone broth with 1 piece of liver with carrot, celery, carrot, green beans

I had complete evacuation with this diet the next day and no IBS symptoms at all. I'm guessing the cause of my IBS is low stomach acid. Salads and vegetables generally are cellular, watery foods. Francis Pottenger theorised that digestive juices are hydrophilic and are attracted to cellular foods, as well as to gelatin, but I can't actually find any other scientific studies to back this up. 

Does anyone know of any formal studies that show a definite connection between raw food / vegetables and ease of digestion?

Thanks.
