I've been dying to find this out for ages. I can't believe I forgot to ask. Anyhow, can anyone eat jam on their toast? If so, what kind? I have found that I definitely cannot eat strawberry jam. Is it the fruit, the sugar, the seeds, who knows?

I can't eat jam either... I've heard of people having problems with strawberries in general, so maybe it's the seeds, but *my* problem is that I can't have sugar in any kind of quantity. That's not a normal IBS problem, though.

No sugar at all. Oh boy, that's too bad.

I can do tiny bits. A teaspoon in a cup of tea doesn't bother me. Candy that isn't overly sweet, like real licorice, is ok too. But all of Heather's cakes, puddings, desserts - all out. Phooey to that, I say!

I eat Bonne Maman Wild Blueberry Jam with no problem. You may be allergic to strawberries. I can't eat peach preserves for that reason.

Hi, I'm not allergic as I make strawberry smoothies almost every day. Isn't that strange? Hmmm...

Hey, at least you can have some good things. Licorice rocks.

I've found that I have a major problem with high fructose corn syrup which is unfortunately in a lot of packaged foods. However, Smuckers now has some sugar free jams which have Splenda in them and no high fructose ... Avoiding high fructose ... means I have to read labels on foods I thought were safe before. Tends to limit me to cooking more at home.
Hope this helps.
