When I first “cracked the code” on stabilizing and reversing prolapse, and wrote and published Saving the Whole Woman, I set up this forum. While I had finally gotten my own severe uterine prolapse under control with the knowledge I had gained, I didn’t actually know if I could teach other women to do for themselves what I had done for my condition.
So I just started teaching women on this forum. Within weeks, the women started writing back, “It’s working! I can feel the difference!”
From that moment on, the forum became the hub of the Whole Woman Community. Unfortunately, spammers also discovered the forum, along with the thousands of women we had been helping. The level of spamming became so intolerable and time-consuming, we regretfully took the forum down.
Technology never sleeps, however, and we have better tools today for controlling spam than we did just a few years ago. So I am very excited and pleased to bring the forum back online.

Whether you’re an old friend or a new acquaintance, welcome! The Whole Woman forum is a place where you can make a difference in your own life and the lives of thousands of women around the world!

Adding more fiber into the
Adding more fiber into the diet of a IBS sufferer sounds like pretty poor advice to me. There has been much discussion of IBS here on the forum, just put it into the search box and you will get a lot of different viewpoints on the subject, and maybe find something that clicks with you specifically.

Hi Sunny - If you have had an
Hi Sunny - If you have had an irritable bowel for 20 years, then no doubt you have tried eliminating various things over the years. Maybe if you can tell us what you've tried, and what has helped and what has not helped, we can give you some suggestions. We do talk about food and elimination on the forum all the time, so feel free to use the Search box and to check in regularly. Your doc was right about the importance of not straining with a rectocele, but like Aging Gracefully, I disagree with him about more fiber being a solution. - Surviving

Thank you for the support
I have tried just about everything in the 33 yrs I've had IBS ..I have had more than one elimination diet etc...nothing helps me ..I don't understand why ..it's like my system doesn't work at all!
I have had four children and a hysterectomy , my IBS began just after my op , and has always been random periods of diarrhoea lasting for hours until I'm exhausted then I'd be ok for a few days . Now it's like all the rules have changed and no one told me! I will try the fodmap diet Ausy and hope for the best...I am more than happy to try anything ...one thing I've learned here...woman who have these issues are defiantly not quitters .

Fodmap list for ibs
The list is a good guide. It will be trial and error to what suits your body and ibs. I can tolerate some small amounts of my favourite fruit on the avoid list and my body soon tells me when I have overdone it. It is not so much of a diet but a guide.

Nuts & chia seeds made a great difference for me. I first learnt about the importance of eating them from reading the Saving The Whole Woman book
