Um, none? Butter should be avoided at all times. You could probably mist a little olive oil over it - I guess it depends what you are doing with the pasta. Are you eating it plain? Adding a sauce? Making a salad?

I use Smart Balance for all my butter needs, because it doesn't have dairy. For pasta, though I would reccomend a little olive oil.

Disagree that all butter is bad - I'm IBS-D and "LandOLakes"
Light Butter with Canola Oil Spread I tolerate well - recommend you try some.

I highly recommend Organic Earth Balance Buttery Spread. It is 100 per cent vegan (with no dairy and no additives) and is also gluton-free. It also tastes good! You can spread it on your bread, cook with it and bake with it.
It's available at Trader Joe's and health food stores in the U.S. and in health food stores, including Wholefoods, here in Canada.

Thanks! I am eating it plain, because I'm still unstable but I don't like it plain. All I have in the fridge is country crock so I guess I will resort so some olive oil until I get to the grocery store....
Thank you for your responses!

If you are still having IBS symptoms, then this product ("LandOLakes" Light Butter with Canola Oil Spread) may be contributing to your symptoms because it clearly contains milk products. (See ingredients at www.landolakes.com/products/ViewProduct.cfm?ProductID=15116)
Milk is a major trigger for IBS. Some people claim they can tolerate it, but it isn't a very good idea especially if you are still having symptoms.
There are quite a few non-dairy butter substitutes available that don't contain milk. Personally I would recommend trying those first. In all conscience, I can't recommend anything containing milk because it is contrary to Heather's diet and I believe generally not a good idea for IBS people.

Regular Smart Balance (Smart Balance® 67% Buttery Spread) does contain some dairy (whey); Smart Balance Light (Smart Balance® 37% Light Buttery Spread) does not contain any dairy derivatives. I use Smart Balance Light and I like it fine now that I'm use to it - I was using real butter pre-Heather, so it was a bit of a shock at first.
There's a current post about Parkay and it looks like some of the Parkay margarines may be dairy free, also.
I agree that butter is a bad idea - dairy is one of Heather's big four triggers.
I actually eat pasta sometimes with just a little garlic salt on it - it's surprisingly good.
HTH.

So if it might not be your best choice. Fats are difficult for most IBSers. I'd stick with Smart Balance Light.
