sorry, i still agree with horgarth. eggs, bacon and cheese have natural fats in them -'healthy fats' just like nuts and avacados, along with other healthy things.

trans fats are bad, partially hydronated are bad, etc..

it is still my opinion that you are victim to media teachings, make that media preachings.

flax and other things might help your IBS (i am not real familiar with that) but, to the best of my knowledge, cutting your fats and proteins isn't one of them. there is no reason to cut the bacon to make room for the veggies - you can eat both in a day. matter of fact, you are already supposed to be eating a minimum of 3 portions of veggies a day. i can't see where it matters if those portions are blended asparagus or whole asparagus(altho i'd think eating it whole would have more fiber-type qualities and help your entire IBS problem)
