Are there better options for drinks besides water? I drink lots of gatorade but is that ok? Can we drink stuff like grape and apple juice?

I think gatorade has HFCS in it.
Some people can toerate it, others can't.
I drink apple juice and don't seem to have a problem with it either.

Unfortunatelty you will find that decaf tea and water will be the basis for your drinks. Grape juice brings on attacks of D for me. Apple juice I can tolerate. check ingredients on Gatorage for HFCS.

A lot of people cannot tolerate apple juice, it brings on D attacks for them. I personally have no problems with it.
A lot of juice drinks in the US have HFCS.
Your best bets are teas and waters, there are I believe some flavoured iceteas (in Starbucks for example) that are OK.
As a rule, juice on an empty tummy is not a good idea, I cannot tolerate orange juice until after breakfast. If something doesn't affect you go for it, I am good with apple and pineapple juice after toast or food.

Gatorade does not contain HFCS.

Just read the ingredients labels. That's all. Watch out for HFCS because it can cause SOME people problems...

when I was doing research on the difference between HFCS and Glucose-Fructose Syrup, I thought I read that Gatorade did contain Glucose-Fructose Syrup. I don't think we ever resolved once and for all whether they were the same thing.
I didn't find anything definitive using Google. The best I could find was some set of trade rules that specified any syrup containing more than 5% fructose must be called either "fructose-glucose" or "glucose-fructose", depending on the relative percentages of the 2 ingredients. (Not sure if these were proposed or actual or even whether they were for stuff coming into or going out of the US.)
Does anybody know for sure whether Gatorade does contain Glucose-Fructose Syrup and/or whether that's the same as HFCS? (I should have taken chemistry in college - if only I'd known I was going to get IBS.  )

I can tolerate Gatorade somewhat, but only in small quantities and never on an empty stomach. I do keep some in my kitchen at all times, however, for those days when I get sick of water and tea and need something "different."

yes glucose-fructose syrup is an ingredient IIRC. If it is the same as HFCS then why isn't it called that? and where does the glucose come from if it is the same?

I don't know why glucose-fructose syrup wouldn't be called HFCS if they are the same thing. This originally came up - at least the first time I saw it - in a post about European rice krispies. At the time, the thinking seemed to be that glucose-fructose syrup might be a European name for HFCS or something as bad as it. Once I saw it was in Gatorade, I didn't know what to think so I'm seeking enlightment from the wizards of the Boards.
HFCS is 55 percent fructose and 45 percent glucose, according to an article in Heather's Research Library, which is part of what made me wonder if glucose-fructose syrup is similar to HFCS.

I don't know what IIRC means and I couldn't find it in the acronym list. Sorry - clarify?

You might also try Oceanspray cranberry juice. I don't have any problems with the light kind (though it has fructose and splenda in it - is that bad?)

are both bad for IBS. Some people can handle fructose in fruits, but added to items, it's a killer. 
And all artificial sweetners are horrible for IBS too, including splenda (sucralose).
I would certainly avoid this drink with two highly trigger ingredients.

I drink low acid apple juice and still dilute it with water and never on an empty stomach. I also drink cran rasp juice diluted.
Here in Canada they just came out with Fruite Light flavoured water beverage with pure fruit juice. It has 50% less calories and sugar and is SUCRALOSE FREE. The flavour I have is basically filtered water, sugar, concentrated apple juice, natural flavour and colour (just a bit it is pretty clear)

I know it's not exactly grown-up or terribly healthy, but good old cherry Kool Aid doesn't hurt me.
