Eating for IBS Recipes ~ Sides, Salads, Soups, & Sandwiches
Side dishes and salads offer a great opportunity to add more soluble fiber to your meals, and it's quite easy to do so deliciously. Potatoes, probably the most traditional American side dish, are a terrific staple for the IBS kitchen and can be cooked an infinite variety of safe and tasty ways. Favorite family recipes such as scalloped potatoes can be easily adapted with soy or rice milk, and stand-bys like crispy hash browns can be cooked in a non-stick skillet for plenty of crunch without the oil. Think of sweet potatoes when you want a change of pace, as they're absolutely crammed with nutrients.
Traditional green salads, a trigger food due to their high insoluble fiber content and typically oil-based dressings, are best eaten in small quantities and only at the end of meals, never on an empty stomach.

For salads that can be safely eaten as meals in their own right, try delicious alternatives like Summer Chicken, New Potato, and Green Bean Salad, Roasted Sweet Potato Cider Salad, or Thai Rice Noodle Salad with Shrimp and Mango.
Soups and sandwiches are among the quickest, tastiest foods to make following the IBS diet, and they both offer great ways to add lots of fresh vegetables to a soluble fiber base. For most soups, the only modifications needed are the substitution of soy milk for cream-based broths in chowders or bisques, and the addition of high soluble fiber foods like rice, potatoes, carrots, turnips, or other root vegetables. Make sure to simmer your soups until all the vegetables are quite tender, and remember that you can puree them as well to further minimize the insoluble fiber. Replace high fat chicken or beef stock with low fat vegetable broth, and top your soups with homemade croutons or fat-free crackers for additional soluble fiber.
For sandwiches, using French or sourdough bread provides a built-in soluble fiber base and gives you the perfect opportunity to incorporate a variety of fresh produce. Stick to low-fat poultry or seafood choices, use flavorful chutneys, bean spreads, or marinades instead of high fat dressings, and add in a medley of finely sliced vegetables.
You just can't beat soups and sandwiches for fast, delicious lunches, and all of the choices in this chapter pack well for a brown bag treat at work or your next road trip picnic. Add in some baked potato chips or pretzels, a slice or two of homemade fruit bread, and a small fresh peeled pear or apple for dessert, and you've got yourself a safe, tasty lunch in a flash.
