I am wondering what kind of jams are out there that are IBS friendly? I notice on the ingredients that with most the first listed is SUGAR!  Should I steer clear from the ones with seeds? I am using one that is pumpkin butter (which seems to agree with me for now) and I love it, but don't want to get sick of it either.  Any suggests would appericated!Thanks again everyone!

I would definately stay away from the ones with seeds. I have a ginger and mango jam that is delicious and you can also get plain mango conserve which is nice too.

Thanks you for your suggestion. I will have a look around online and see if I can find a place that I can order that. It sounds tasty!

Peanut - Pumpkin butter on flour tortillas is great. I use the 95% fat free 6" fajita tortillas (Mission) which is only 1 point in WW and a tsp of pumpkin butter which is only another 1 pt. I do that for a snack. Don't know if you do Wt Watchers (WW), but it's a pretty filling snack. I would imagine the jellies and jams that are natural (no sugar added) would be the best--without seeds of course.

Remember, sugar is ok for IBS, anyway. I totally indulge in jams. Just be aware they contain fruit and fruit juice which can sometimes cause trouble. I love grape jelly, seedless raspberry, and the occasional strawberry jam (but if you have trouble with seeds, be careful) Considering the amount that goes on toast, I think it is usually quite safe.

Kroger sells at least three brands of all-fruit jam, including their own (which I don't care for; I like Smucker's Simply Fruit). Anyway, as HanSolo pointed out, sugar isn't a problem for IBS.

Lately I've been eating sweet potato butter. One of the things that drew me to it, besides the fact that I love sweet potatoes, is because of the soluble fiber of sweet potatoes. I found it at americanspice.com, if you're interested.
