Thursday, October 18, 2012 – Daily News FEATURES Coed chastises gramps for his concern ''Chelsea's'' Facebook page. I've been proud of her success in college, her hap- piness with friends and the experience of living away from her mother. However, her friends posted a couple of remarks on her Face- book page that bothered me. I emailed her that these issues may not be any of my business, but I was concerned for her personal safety, etc. She quickly replied that this was indeed none of my business, and she made excuses for the Face- book comments. I expressed how disappointed I was with her attitude since I was only worried about her. We haven't spoken since then, and frankly, I cannot excuse her bad behavior toward me. But Chelsea doesn't have a great many family members, and I would like to mend this rift. My own friends have point- ed out that ''the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.'' Any sugges- tions? — Concerned Grandpa Dear Grandpa: Chelsea is young and living independently for the first time. She doesn't want her grandfather (or anyone else) to tell her how to live her life. You were undoubtedly right to be concerned many complicated family issues, I've been estranged from my adult daughter for the past 10 years. However, she has a college-aged daughter with whom I've managed to maintain a decent and, I thought, lov- ing relationship.

I suspect most men are like me. I am 64 years old. I was married for 24 years. Except for our sex life, I was truly happy right up until the day she said she had a boyfriend and wanted a divorce. I always wanted more physical contact than she did, but she viewed that as ''my'' problem. When she said ''no,'' she meant it, and she said it often. Meanwhile, she decided I was ''oversexed.'' I found that porn allowed me, at least in fantasy, to get some of the release I needed. We divorced 11 years ago. I am about her safety, but it came across as criticism, and she was not receptive. If you want to fix this, you will have to make the first move. Send her an email or post something on her Facebook page that is positive and complimentary. Say nothing about the previ- ous disagreement, and hope she is equally willing to let it go. Then start fresh. We hope someday Chelsea will be mature enough to appre- ciate your advice. But right now, please tread lightly. Dear Annie: I've read letters now the luckiest man on Earth because I found a genuine partner.

Can you tell me about it? DEAR DOC- 3B Targeting some foods will help with bowels Eat more of these foods: DEAR READ- ER: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a com- mon gastrointesti- nal disorder. Symptoms include cramping, diar- rhea, gas and bloating. A common treatment approach is to avoid foods that trigger symp- toms. A new diet for IBS targets and eliminates certain types of carbohy- drates the small intestine has trouble absorbing. We'll call it the "IBS diet," even though its offi- cial name is the "low FODMAP diet." (Please don't ask what "FODMAP" stands for; you don't want to know, and I don't want to try to remember.) Dr. K by Anthony L. Komaroff, M.D. dew, kiwi, lemon, lime, oranges and strawberries — Vegetables: bam- boo shoots, bean sprouts, bok choy, carrots, cucum- bers, eggplant, ginger, lettuce, olives, parsnips, potatoes, spring onions and turnips Research suggests that the carbohydrates exclud- ed from the IBS diet increase the amount of fluid in the bowel and create more gas. This leads to bloating and changes the speed at which food is digested. The result is gas, pain and diarrhea. To follow the IBS diet, eat less of these foods: — Dairy: cow's milk, yogurt, pudding, ice cream, cottage cheese and ricotta cheese — Fruits: apples, apri- cots, blackberries, cher- ries, nectarines, pears, peaches, cherries, man- goes and watermelon — Vegetables: arti- — Grains: oat, oat bran, rice bran, gluten- free pasta, white rice, corn flour and quinoa Don't misunderstand me. Not all of the foods I advise you to eat less of will negatively affect your IBS. And eating only the foods I advise you to eat more of won't guarantee you freedom from IBS.

You can determine which ones to avoid by eliminating all foods from the "eat less" list from your diet. Then reintroduce one food at a time, noting whether it worsens your symptoms. If not, add it back to your diet. We have more infor- mation on IBS in our Special Health Report, "The Sensitive Gut."
