i have to cut out dairy, eggs, gluten and soy from my diet. I was 160 lbs before i developed IBS and now I'm 146. I really wanna get up to at least 155 but with my diet being the way it is I feel like its impossible. also, im about to possibly take a job that requires a lot of travel and will need quick meals or drinks that will give me enough calories. does anyone have suggestions? are there weight gain drinks for people w/ sensitive digestion? thanks

I saw rice protein powder the other day - I remembered thinking, hmmm, there's a protein powder I might actually be able to put in smoothies, but I was in such a rush I didn't stop to look at the can. It was at Wal-Mart. It might be safe... ?

IBS-A since age 12, and fructose sensitive; with the exception of my pregnancy, have been following Heather's diet since Nov. 19, 2007.
Taking 12g of Acacia per day. Relatively stable since March 2008!

Jason,
I'm not sure how stable you are now, but once you are stable, you'll be able to put on weight, even on a limited diet. I lost 20 pounds when my IBS was at its worst, b/c everything I ate made me sick. Once I started Heather's diet, even though the food I was eating was lower fat, I could eat more and wasn't losing it all through diarrea. I gained back the 20 pounds over a two year period. Also, once you are more stable, you can work out and lift weights, which should help you put on muscle weight.
Good Luck.
