Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hi everyone!

While I've been visiting this site periodically for about 7 years, I'm new to posting on the message boards. After being seemingly cure for the past year, my IBS has now flared up big time and I'm back to eating Heather's diet. It has really helped to stabilize me for the most part, although gas can still really be an issue.

Anyway, I found these two recipes in Family Circle and they look safe to me but wanted to check with you all before I tried them.

Beef Ragu with Beans (the recipe is for a double batch to allow for freezing half)

2 large carrots, peeled and coarsely chopped
onion and celery which I'd omit b/c of preference
4 cloves garlic
2 lbs ground beef (I'd use extra lean turkey)
2 cans diced tomatoes
2 cups beef broth (I'd use chicken or veggie)
3 TBLS tomato paste
2 teas sugar
1 can cannelli beans
dried Italian seasoning
salt

Cook in slow cooker and serve over rigatoni

The second one is for Chicken Tagine.

8 boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into 1 inch pieces(I'd use breasts)
4 carrots peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup dried apricots coarsely chopped
2 cups chicken broth
2 tbls tomato paste
2 tbls flour
2 teas garlic salt
1 1/2 teas cumin
1 1/2 teas ground ginger
1 teas cinnamon
1/4 teas pepper
2 cups couscous, cooked

You cook it all in the slow cooker and serve over cous cous.

Do these sound pretty safe?

TIA!
Nichole
