The Vita-Mix . It is absolutely amazing!! If you don't have it, you should consider getting it. Yes, it's a bit expensive, but it is completely worth it. It comes with a cookbook that has recipes for Appetizers, Beverages, Soups, Sauces, Fondues, Salad Dressings, Syrups and Batters, Pureed Foods, and Desserts! And most of the recipes are IBS friendly, and the ones that aren't are EASILY adaptable. Many of the recipes use tofu and/or soy milk, and there are recipes for your own Soy Milk, and some for non dairy icecream.
Another wonderful discovery that goes along with the Vita-Mix but can be used with anything is Whole Nectar Ultimate Soy Protein Smoothie Mix . It is a taste-less protein powder you can use in smoothies, soups, anything. Very cool.
Just thought I'd share this new and wonderful find

Is it a food processor to cut veggies? Or a blender?

Both,,,, you can use it to cut veggies, cheese, nuts, anything. Or you can use it as a blender to make anything from soups to icecreams and sorbets. We made a soup and icecream in 10 minutes, including cleaning the machine between recipes. I'm going to post some of the recipes on the Recipe Exchange. It is a bit expensive, but my mom payed for half of it  Haha working as a waitress didn't end up with a large enough paycheck to buy it by myself lol. But for those of you who can afford it, seriously look into it, it's a very good way to get Soluble and Insoluble Fibers together in a wonderful meal. Haha I hope I don't sound like I'm trying to sell this, I don't work for them honest

I've never heard that juice from granny smith apples was good for IBS. I would double check this. Has anyone else heard that?
