Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Yes - frustration with gluten free!

I have the same complaints. Just because something is gluten free does not make it IBS friendly!

I constantly find dairy and really high fat contents in gluten free foods that would not have these components in the regular gluten versions. And a lot of the flour subs they use are high in insoluble fiber - I've even seen psyllium added to gluten free foods. Imagine the bloating and gas.

I don't have helpful suggestions in this area aside from reading ingredient lists. Just wanted to add my venting - my aunt has celiac, I have IBS, so I'm always combining the two concerns when shopping/cooking for family meals.

And I have to say I think it's easier to start with IBS friendly and make it gluten free, than to start with commercial gluten free options and have to hope and pray they're safe for IBS.
