since jam usually has solids, seeds, etc. it also gives me problems. jelly might be a better choice. good ol' grape jelly is a staple at my place ... and i've heard that fruit pectin is good for your tummy. (??) good luck!

Try smuckers seedless blackberry preserves. That's the only one I've found I can tolerate.

Ok, I bought a seedless rasberry jam (e.D. Smith brand) but it had corn syrup in it? Is that a big no-no? It's not high fructose corn syrup, I know that one is bad.
I couldn't find any of the suggested ones in the grocery store today.

no, that should be fine. it's only the HFCS that's bad.
Enjoy!!

Sara-Sage:
I can't have jam because of the additives and HFC. I also can't have sugar or artificial sweeteners.
For the past 12 years I've used babyfood fruit sauces as a delightful, IBS-safe alternative. I buy babyfood jars (usually Heinz in Canada or Gerber if I'm in the U.S.) of pear sauce, apple-blueberry, apple-strawberry or apple only, etc. It is all cooked and pureed so there are no seeds, etc. The sauce contains only the fruit -- no HFC or additives (although Heinz has recently added a tiny quantity of Ascorbic Acid to its recipe, but organic babyfood brands still don't contain anything but the fruit).
I usually smear about half of a small jar of the babyfood fruit sauce on a bagel in the morning. This is a very IBS safe way of eating the fruit sauce because the soluble fibre (which is the bagel or toast) makes it much easier to tolerate the fruit.
