I recently made the autumn sweet potatoe muffins, and they would have been delicious, if I hadn't added, fresh, chopped ginger, instead of the required 'crystalized' ginger. I thought I was a seasoned cook (pardon pun-lol)? I don't think I've seen crystalized ginger in the seasoning section of market? Someone tell me what and where I can find this? Other than the bites of the fresh ginger...I had ate a couple, and they were really delicious and easy on tummy.
My next recipe will be the chicken and dumplings.....ooooh sounds soooooooo good......hope no mystery seasoning tho?
I am so fortunate to find this helpful site....and all the knowledge on such a frustrating disorder and the total lifestyle changes it incurs.
Gonna look up the info on the Acacia...soluable fiber...cause I don't take otc tabs too often..but for me, is really harsh on the tummy. So hard, having to break down every ingredient..of foods...but these recipes are making it much easier. Already noticed the difference...thank you! You are our pioneer, Heather! I am so glad that I actually saw these new tv commercials for ibs....I think public awareness, will be so helpful.

Oh, that sounds good anyways!! 
I just found the crystallized ginger at Safeway.... it was in the produce section with the other dried fruits...like to make fruit cake with. It came in a little 4oz tub like the pre made hummus comes in.

To make your own: Bring to a boil 1 1/3 C sugar + 1 C water, add 1 C peeled and chopped ginger pieces, and simmer for 20 minutes. Strain and dry, then sprinkle with sugar.

What a great recipe, Mags! I attempted to make pumpkin pie this weekend (long story) and had left over pumpkin so I made the muffins - wow, I can't stop eating them! Luckily I put some in the freezer so I won't eat them all at once.
And actually, I didn't have any of the crystallized ginger and they turned out just fine! I will have to try them with the crystallized ginger some time to see if they taste even better.

My friend has been wanting to make pumpkin bread, but hasn't been able to find a good recipe. I was telling her how good Mags' Autumn Pumpkin Muffins were and told her I would send the recipe.
However, she doesn't drink soy milk so I'm wondering if she substitutes the soy milk for regular milk if it would taste the same. Any thoughts on this reverse substitution?

I'd say it's fine. I think milk and soy milk are almost totally interchangable, and especially in things like breads and muffins!

Hey Jen! That would work fine, because when I converted the recipe, it was originally regular milk!
