or a salad with grilled chicken if they take a SFS first? I take my kids occasionally and have eaten the grilled chicken sandwiches. Sometimes I tolerate them and other times I don't. (but don't know if that was related to eating the fast food or not) Wondered if it was something I should just avoid or if others can sometimes eat the stuff w/o mayo and other things on the grilled chicken.

I work 2 jobs and am finding it very hard to have prepared meals around for lunch. What I have been doing is going to either Wendy's or Burger King and getting there grilled chicken sandwich and ordering it with just tomato. McDonalds uses a whole wheat bun for their grilled chicken so I don't go there.
I had an attack this morning but I'm sure that isn't what caused it.

I can tolerate grilled ok, and I often get the salads with no problem. But I ALWAYS make sure I have taken my SF before take out of any kind! I've paid dearly when I skipped. I just avoid as much of the fat as possible given my choices...ie. no fries, no cola, grilled if available, salad if available. There are so many choices most places now that it is usually not a problem!

I really like New York Burrito and, once in a great while, I go to Subway (not a sandwich fan).
Occasionally, I go to Burger King. I'm able to tolerate the Tendergrill Chicken Sandwich without lettuce or tomatoes. The chicken and bun are safe although they contain MSG, so be careful if you're MSG sensitive. You can see ingredient listings here: BK Ingredients I also prefer it without whatever sauce they're using; right now it's a Honey Mustard Spread, which contains egg yolk (ick!). At BK, you can also order bottled water. Now that I'm stable, I do enjoy the occasional small order of fries, but I definitely would't recommend it to anyone who's sensitive to fat, new at the IBS diet, or is trying to eat healthy.
After checking out Jack in the Box ingredients online, I'm disappointed to report that almost everything--from the chicken to the buns contains dairy. This would explain why, back in college, I would get severe attacks even though I thought I was making safe choices. Also during my college years, I used to frequent Panda Express and order their mushrooms w/ chicken w/ a large side of steamed rice--this was all I ate when the cafeteria didn't have any safer options. I don't recall ever having an attack from it. I haven't eaten at either place in years.
In general, I have problems with every other fast food place. It's only recently (and very rarely) that I've tried eating at BK and New York Burrito.

That's the only fast food I EVER eat... because I know those chicken sandwiches are supposed to be grilled, but I just don't trust them. You can still grill food with a ton of oil, and a lot of restaurants do, so why wouldn't a place like McD's or BK?
So I stick with Subway. I tolerate vegetables really well, so I really pile on the pickles, olives, tomatoes, lettuce, and I can be happy because I'm eating the same thing I would have eaten if I didn't have IBS. (Unlike McD's, where I'd be eating grilled chicken and sulking because I really wanted a Big Mac. LOL!)

Subway Turkey Sandwich - 5 grams of fat and no dairy in the bread.
Pick Up Stix - House Chicken add the veggies you can tolerate - eat with a lot of steamed rice. Usually one dinner gives me an additional three lunches (I just add more rice)
Taco Bell - Chicken taco "Fresco Style" - has no cheese.
Good luck,
Leigh

It makes me get D right quick! Restaurant grilled chicken is a last resort for me. With BBQ sauce they are pretty safe, watch for wheat buns though.

"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!

less than 7 grams of fat and a honey mustard sauce. I tried it and tolerated it just fine.
