Oh my so many question. I wouldn't think crushed pineapple was safe. It is on Heather's insoluble fiber list.

What is wrong with potatoes? They contain protein and soluble fiber.

I thought maybe I should cut out fructose foods and see if it helps,don't potatoes have that? anyway I thought with sf pineapple was safe? " I wouldn't think crushed pineapple was safe. It is on Heather's insoluble fiber list." we all need IF though..what is wrong with pineapple or what could be a prob. with it? yes I ask tons of questions everyday

how about if I cook a can of crushed pineaple in its juice on the stove with celery and chicken and serve over rice?

Potatoes are a great IBS food with no excess fructose.

I am IBS-D and I know pineapple would give great difficulty.

We all need 'some insoluble fiber'. The question is how much? Generally speaking IBS-D handles less insoluble fiber than IBS-C. If you are IBS-D then I think you need to be very careful about the amount insoluble fiber you eat.

Celery chicken with slices of warm kiwi on the chicken served on a bed of rice sounds great --- notice I left out the pineapple Can you handle soy sauce?

not sure about the soy sauce...Can I make that a crock pot recipe? how long would the chicken celery and kiwi cook for? also would I need chicken broth,vegtable broth or water in the pot also? is pineapple just too high in IF? is it ok in a smothie? I would just the kiwi small.. or could puree in blener? and add in crock pot?

I won't cook the kiwi. I would let it warm to room temperature, slice it into thin slices and lay them over the chicken when you server it. The warm chicken will warm the slice of kiwi.

And I would put carrots, celery, a bay leaf and chicken in water with salt and pepper (if you can handle it). Let them simmer in the crockpot for an hour or so. About 1/2 way through I would add large pieces of diced potato. I would throw away the celery and bay leaf. Server on a plate with slices of kiwi. Eat and enjoy

I wonder if I should leave out carrots? I want to eat the celery..I think it likes me..simmer is that medium heat? What if I puree the kiwi in the blender when the hot rice and chicken is on my plate it would be like a sauce. like jasmine rice with chicken celery and pureed kiwi so it's like a sauce? the kiwi is already at room temp.

btw,would u look at my other question http://www.helpforibs.com/messageboards/ubbthreads/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Board=diet&Number=355257&Forum=All_Forums&Words=9068&Match=Username&Searchpage=0&Limit=25&Old=allposts&Main=355257&Search=true#Post355257

There are studies to show that align is helpful. Are their studies that say Florastor is recommended? I saw it in CVS yesterday and it is 10 dollars cheaper than align, but I have never read anything supporting the research that it actually helps.

Florastor contains the probiotic Saccharomyces boulardii - a yeast. This probiotic has been shown to be effective for antibiotic induced D, inflammatory bowel disease and C. difficile infections. There have been a couple of small clinical trials on IBS. At doses of 250 mg per day showed improvement in pain and stool formation but not on bloating.

ok well not c but not actual d. Align hasn't done anything for my bloating. DO you think florastor is right for me to try? My stools could be well formed?

It might work. There is no way to know until you try. However, you might find more success if you dramatic reduced the amount of insoluble fiber you are eating including celery which is high insoluble fiber. Celery contains twice as much insoluble fiber compared to soluble fiber. You should give it a try for a couple of weeks and see how it goes. I am IBS-D. One of the greatest improvements came when I removed most of the insoluble fiber from my diet and significantly increased the soluble fiber. This alone made my stools better formed.
