Hello,
I am thinking of trying the nutri grain bars. They do have a little bit if whey in them, (the whey is the 10th ingredient, meaning there is not that much of it) and the fruit fillings seem OK too.
What do you guys think? I will wait to hear from you before I eat one, since I am now out of town and CANNOT afford any kind of attack!
Has anyone here ever tried these??
Thanks much as always!!

Check the ingredients. For example here are the ingredients of the Blackberry NutriGrain bar . The items in bold are potential triggers. And this product has 3 grams of dietary fiber per 37 gram bar OR 8% dietary fiber by weight. I won't consider this to be an IBS safe product.
