Just back from WalMart ( the closest store out here in the boonies of East Texas) Anyway, 2 hrs. and $200.00 later I have some questions. Is cuscous considered a SF? How about artichokes? Melba toast? Looked at these but passed them up. Am dying for a cracker! Any suggestions? 9 days after diagnosis and am working hard to figure this all out. Heather's books are a great help. Biggest problem=Husband who eats totally different and whose world revolves around FOOD.

Hi, Landimarie! Welcome to the Boards 
Congratulations on your shopping trip.
There is a brand of rice crackers available at New Seasons and Whole Foods; it comes in 2 or 3 flavors (including soy cheddar) that I used to buy. Aaaaargh...Can't remember the name right now. Fred Meyer/Kroger has them, too. They are quite expensive, but taste pretty good.
There is a link on this site for recommended brands; you also might do a search across all forums for "recommended brand". That may help some - it will also bring up some interesting emails, I bet.
Finding food can be real time-consuming and I don't even have to accommodate a husband. I just have to "hunt & gather" & cook!
Best wishes,

Couscous is SF and artichokes hearts with no leaves would be pretty SF but the fiberous leaves and bits are IF. Melba toast is generally IF but you would have to read the ingredients and look for whole grain wheat.
I don't know any main stream (keebler/nabisco) crackers that are safe besides saltines. But the more pricey crackers are safe if no MSG, HFCS, whole grains and more than 25% fat.

IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"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!
