Hello all,
I was wondering is sushi, seaweed and california rolls are safe for ibs d? I just had it for dinner for the first time ever. I'm ok so far, but I feel a little rumbeling in stomach. I think its because I over ate, but I'm not sure. Or is it the sushi that is making my stomach a little upset? Thanks!

sushi is one of my safest foods to eat as long as I don't order anything with sauce or cream cheese. When I go out with friends I always hope they suggest sushi because its healthy and safe. The first time I was nervous but I eat it all the time now. White rice is also great to eat!

I eat sushi all the time!
I pretty much eat all of them that don't have added sauces or mayo or cream cheese (yep there was a place that had a 'bagel roll' with salmon and cream cheese hehe). I eat the vegetable sushi rolls with no soy sauce, but the raw fish ones with. I do eat the ginger too. No wasabi though, it's too hot for my tongue. I love when my friends want to go for sushi, its been my staple restaurant food for a while now.
My favorites are avocado or cucumber rolls (single ingredients) and rainbow rolls (california roll with fish on top). I also make sushi at home, usually avocado or cucumber.
Seaweeds in general seem to be really easy to digest, I'm wondering if it's actually a SF source. Anyone know?
Oh and just one word of caution. The sushi you may see in grocery stores or fast food places tends to have some added ingredients including HFCS and preservatives (listed on the package). Sushi restaurants are all fine.

Thanks K2! So far, I've tried the California rolls and Boston rolls. I did't like the California roll because I don't like avacados. Boston rolls are my new favorite because I love seafood!  I'm so glad to hear its safe!

Sushi has been my FAVORITE dish since a couple of years ago, and I noticed back then that it's soothing to my tummy, so I decided to keep eating it since starting on Heather's diet. I only eliminated the soy sauce and eat it instead with no fat mayonaise. I'm still trying to figure out how to make my own orange dressing they use, and then I'll be in heaven! I know they use mayo and fish eggs. I'm going to get the guts up and ask at my local sushi place for the recipe and try to make it with safe ingredients. Isn't it great to know we can eat something we love?!!

Hey Kat,
you offered some words of caution for eating "fast-food" sushi, just wondering if you have had bad experiences yourself or if you just avoid them all together b/c of the preservatives and HFCS
and I was reading another post started by Minnie where you offered to forward information about what you have done in the past few months to improve your IBS and overall health. I was wondering if you would be willing to email me at johnadams.hbs@gmail.com. I would really appreciate any insights that you have, as your post have always been really helpful to me in the past year.

I've had a few times where I didn't feel great after eating the fast-food sushi. It was just california rolls so no raw meat or anything that could have caused problems. It didn't cause an attack but I would highly recommend staying away from the ones containing extra ingredients like HFCS.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE sushi. I even got my angel of a husband to indulge my new found food. We have one that has sweet potatoes inside!! WHO KNEW ALL THOSE THINGS TASTED GOOD TOGETHER!
Anyway, I have trouble with both the avacado and the cucumbers. They both give me wicked reflux... Now I just get my veggies from the edamame. This too is nature's little present to me. Yum Yum!

I forgot to tell you, some of the fake crab sticks have ASPARTAME in them. It's not much, but if you're real sensitive to those like me, it's enough to make you real sick. I noticed at the supermarket the only brand I can buy is CrabSmart sticks.
Food for thought...

Yep fake crab has lots of crap in it lol. It contains MSG too. I tend not to get ones with crab as much anymore. I get mostly single-ingredient ones like avocado, cucumber, salmon, tuna etc... Some restaurants I've asked to see the crab they use and it's ok, so I'll get the California rolls from there.
Now REAL crab is tasty! I've had it once in sushi, and have had real crab that I made at home. So good and super safe!
