but I haven't quite gotten up the courage to try them yet.
Quote:
Some fruits and vegetables are particularly troublesome for IBS: Sulfur-containing foods (garlic, onions, leeks, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, asparagus, and Brussels sprouts), in addition to their high amounts of insoluble fiber, also produce significant gas in the GI tract and this can trigger attacks. As with all other fruits and veggies, however, these are extremely nutritious foods with significant health benefits, so they need to be treated with caution but definitely not eliminated from your diet.

When I used to be D I couldnt eat alot of things but now I am C(not saying it is better at all) but I can eat most things and take my Digestive Advantage and Miralx on occasion and be ALMOST like normal. I can eat most things. Believe it or not I can eat salads with no problem, junk food including pizza and fried chicken you name it! The only thing that makes me really sick feeling is ice cream unfortunately...which I used to eat with no problem..weird huh. Maybe thats a good thing..I dont need another sweet in my life I can eat.LOL

Yup, check the Recipe Index. There are 2 recipes called "Sweet Potato Fries" and one called "Savory Sweet Potato Sticks". The recipe called "Crispy Potato Wedges" also has a sweet potato variation.
HTH.

Just like any other insoluble fiber food, they are SAFE to eat as long as you eat them within the IBS diet guidelines - with plenty of soluble fiber. And as always, everyone's different, so some people do find them too gassy, but other people can eat them just fine. In other words, you won't know if they're ok for you until you try them yourself.
Personally, I love them, and I can eat them just fine.

I love them and combined with sf and enzymes, NO PROBLEM!!! Aren't they cute! (I like to eat them with fragrant herbs so that my breath doesn't smell too sulfurous!)
Uh oh...they might be on my next shopping list!!! I crave them when I'm catching a cold.
The only way to find out is to try a few. Kate, IBS-D.

As a kid, what prompted me to try them is that they looked like little tiny baby cabbages. Then I happened to just LOVE them at first bite. Thank goodness I can still eat them ok!
I think I know what's going on the list for MY next shopping!

I had recurring dreams about them, last year. I dreamed that those cute little cabbages were actually heads and the repeating heads were copies of my head.
Yes, I definitely must acquire some b.s. I worry if I don't fart enough. I prefer the frozen ones, though, to the fresh ones. They're positively perfect. And so tiny!
Kate.
