Pages: 1 Angel food cake?       #331921 - 07/02/08 11:22 AM Edit Reply Quote vettech Reged: 06/08/08 Posts: 328 Loc: ME I was under the impression that angel food cake was "safe", so I had a small slice today (while everyone else was chowing down on yummy cheesecakes and coffee cakes). Well, it has thrown me for a loop! No D, but really bad stomach cramps and nausea. It's the only thing I've eaten that's different. I checked the ingredient list (it was store-bought) and there was nothing weird - basically just egg whites, flour, sugar and flavoring. What gives? -------------------- IBS-A and GERD since 1983 Low FODMAP since 2012 Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Angel food cake?       #331924 - 07/02/08 12:22 PM Edit Reply Quote dragonfly Reged: 05/12/08 Posts: 1088 Loc: canada If it was store bought, the flavouring might have dairy in it.I love angel food cake and can eat the whole thing if left unattended but try baking one from scratch and try that. -------------------- IBS-D since 1999...mostly stable..i do cheat too.Bad me.

However, I have noticed that prepared foods that use artificial flavoring give me problems while foods with natural flavors don't. How do you know it was the angel food cake that gave you problems and not something else you ate? -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Angel food cake?       #331926 - 07/02/08 12:32 PM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA Flavourings don't contain dairy and if they did they would have to be listed in the ingredients list. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Angel food cake?       #331927 - 07/02/08 12:33 PM Edit Reply Quote Kteach84 Reged: 03/31/08 Posts: 181 Loc: MA While I cannot explain why the angel food cake bothered you, I can say that the only time I had it- it bothered me as well. My mom made it for my birthday because it is supposed to be safe. The next morning I woke up with nausea. I know it is supposed to be safe for IBS- so I think maybe I have an unrelated sensitivity to sugar.

Maybe something else? I wouldn't scratch it off your list....try again at home. Sorry it hit you bad though.

I suspect it may be artificial flavoring. Most of the snacks I've been eating lately have been organic or at least all natural.

Sometimes a product will say it does or may contain dairy and has none in the ingredients list but does have 'flavors' and so they can contain dairy. However about the angel food cake, anything artificial or containing too much sugar could be a problem for some. I have noticed my body doesn't like those things. Not that it has to be IBS per se, but it could be upsetting to some. -------------------- IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages: "You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
