How about Japanese rice crackers? I am currently munching my way through a bag of them - they are VERY crunchy and almost fat free. This particular brand is called Sunrise and the ingredients are:
rice (85%)
soy sauce
sugar
tapioca starch
I think I got them in Waitrose, but I've bought other (similar) brands in Sainsbury's and HFS.
Also, I'm sure I've seen a thing for slicing potatoes very thin to make homemade crisps - maybe in the Lakeland catalogue? - and I don't see why you couldn't then bake them in the oven with a spray of oil. Has anyone tried this already?
Have to say I don't agree that we in the UK are badly off for IBS-friendly foods - there may be fewer junk food substitutes, but from what I've read on these boards, it seems much harder to find bread and other basic foods without HFCS or artificial sweeteners in the USA than it is here. The one thing I really miss is cheese and unfortunately there's no substitute for that anywhere ...

Just thought Id let you know, dont know if you've already tried and hated them but....in Holland and Barrett stores in the uk(the health food store thats always on the telly) they sell....cheexly soya cheese which comes in a cheddar style, mozzarella style and nacho style flavours and also toffutti soya cream cheese in herb flavour and regular etc, plus they also sell cheese slices for sandwiches(like the dairy lea ones but soya) and tescos also stock the cheezly cheddar style...Ive used a few of them and Id never eat them on their own but on pizzas and pastas, melted and stuff theyre great!
You do have to watch the fat content though, its quite high in a lot of them...I find using small amounts is fine...but like anything high fat you have to just watch the quantity! Ive never had a problem with them.

I like Toffutti a lot, but can only eat very small quantities because of the fat - I haven't tried the other brands you mentioned so I'll give them a go. But what I really want is a good strong Cheddar or some crumbly Wensleydale - oh and a crisp juicy apple to go with it! That's my fantasy ...
BTW I found this recipe for crisps, but I haven't tried it - it still has some fat, which could be reduced further I'm sure, maybe using a spray instead of oil? It would probably work with other root vegetables, eg parsnips, beetroot, too.
Homemade Low Calorie Potato Chips
Ingredients:
1 large potato, scrubbed clean and sliced
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
salt or seasonings

Put potato slices in bag.
Blow up the bag and quickly seal it shut.
Shake vigorously until all the slices are coated.
Arrange slices in a circle on a microwave-proof plate.
Microwave on high for 4 minutes.
Turn chips over and re-arrange them so they cook evenly.
Microwave again for 2 minutes.

Watch them carefully and microwave again for about 2 minutes or until they start to brown.
They must brown a little in places or they will not crisp up.

The ones I had were blue corn ones? I was going to check Infinity, the big HFS in Brighton (if they don't have them I'm remembering wrongly) today, but I forgot. I know my mum bought them for my dad, 'cos he was told not to eat normal crisps to lower his cholesterol.
