Many fruits in a canned fruit cocktail will be okay...tinned peaches, pears, mango and apple are all good in fact.
If you're okay with the fructose (a possible trigger), then a SF fruit mix is okay whenever...I actually use canned peaches as a SF snack now.

If you've given this diet a good chance (AT LEAST one month) and you've had no improvement then you should certainly be looking to get more tests done as it could well be something else is going on.
Btw Carol...a probiotic is recommended anyway so if you feel you need one, take one!

I find it safest to not eat fruit on an empty stomach due to the insoluble fiber. I either cook with it or have it after some soluble fiber foods.

I am already taking a probiotic, but it's possible I need to take extra. I had D. for months in 2002 and it turned out that I needed more good bacteria to destroy a pathogenic bacteria I was fighting in my intestines. But, I had to take about 25,000-30,000 billion organisms a day to stop it. I had read that would do the trick, and to build up to a very high dosage, so I did and it worked. (This was a case where I had lost all my good bacteria from taking an antibiotic. Which may be the case again.)

I think I asked this before but could not find an answer - is it anise oil like what we could bake with that you use???
I heard of peppermint oil to put in your tea!

Is there a HFS, naturopath, or herbalist near where you live that you could consult with? I think what you want is anise seed extract. You might also be able to find an anise & fennel tea preparation in a HSF. I know that if you take too much anise oil you could have nausea and vomiting. 
I'm sorry for the late reply and for not knowing much more about available anise oil preparations  .

Hi, my current IBS meds and supplements are:
1. Metamucil SFS full 3 times a day dose
2. Bentyl antispasmodic 2 times a day every day
3. Gas-X generic antigas 2 capsules every morning
4. Acidophilus probiotic 1 with breakfast and 1 with lunch
5. Imodium A LOT!! Whenever I feel the least bit iffy. Total of maybe 1-2 a day, 5-6 a week. And ALWAYS with Aleve or other HSAIDs.
6. Mylanta liquid for heartburn and GERD.
I didn't get stable until my doctor convinced me I HAD to take Bentyl EVERY day!!

I have never heard of Bentyl antispas drug. I was just on librax and went off it after a couple of months - no difference at all.
Please inform
