Not a personal question at all; I'm pretty open about my ADHD. Yeah, I'm on Concerta (which is the same as Ritalin, just encapsulated differently) and Ritalin proper. I was actually wondering if there was a link between the meds and the IBS...I should ask someone.

OMG Whole Foods is my FAVORITE store!!!! My obsession is scary...I spend like over an hour in there every time I go. This weekend I went and bought: TONS of ricemilk (I buy the Whole Foods 365 brand and I think it's the best!) veggie broth (good for rice, recipes) breads soy cream cheese (no casien) soy yogurts (i like Wildwood or Silk) smoked whitefish and salmon from the deli wheat free vegan cookie and muffin (fresh baked!yum!) hot cereals (cream of rice, barley, oatmeal) corn tortillas tofu black beans rice cakes EnviroKids rice bars (they have pix of animals on them, they come in berry and peanut butter (my fave), but don't get the chocolate it has dairy!) papaya (IBS safe fruit!) I hope this helps and have fun shopping!!
For Ruchie, I was just wondering what you do with the sardines, do you just eat them out of a can??! I need more protein and I am looking for creative ways to get it Thanks!

Do you eat mostly gluten free? I noticed you listed wheat free cookies and the rice bars you buy are also GF (I get the PB ones too)! But you listed bread so was wondering if they sell a GF bread there?
Do you prefer the rice milk over the soy milk? I think soy milk is gassy myself.
What kind of cream of rice do you buy there? I'm looking for a new brand. Is it brown rice based? Thanks and sorry to but into your post.

Try the Whole Soy and Co yogurts, they are the best and have cultures which are good too. Also the animal crackers there are great. The vegan chocolate mousse on the salad bar and the lentil burgers on the bar are good, plus the brown rice vegan sushi is good.

I'm also on concerta and my doc was worried to put me on this because he says it does cause stomach distress and loss of appetite. I think it has contributed to my nausea too. It helps though my mind so far. I thought I would just let you know that was what I was told but you adjust after time.

Hi! Sorry I just saw this post, I have been overwhelmed with work this week...I do wheat free, but not gluten free. I am thinking about adding in wheat again, but we'll see about that. I do drink rice milk mainly because I like it better. I do think the soy makes me gassier sometimes, although I drink it occasionally. I like the Lundberg rice cereal, and I just found the brand Erewhorn (sp?), which I think is easier to cook right than Lundberg. I'm pretty sure those are both brown rice...Good luck and talk to you soon!

Well I went to Whole Foods and TJ's on Sunday. Unfortunately, upon arriving at Whole Foods, I realized that I forgot to bring a list of kosher symbols I could rely on, and so I didn't buy anything there. I then went over to TJ's and was lucky to find a lot of safe food (I think). I'll probably head back there instead of going to WF.
Thanks for everyone's help! If you have any more suggestions, please let me know!

Hi there! I love Whole Foods too I buy sardines and eat them over rice (and if I really want to treat myself I'll add some stemed veggies...yum)! Do you eat tofu...it has tons of protein as well. You can also have bean/lentil soup if your tummy can tolerate it. Good luck...feel good *hugs*
