Someone's question:
I've noticed most of the dairy-free substitutes have oil as an ingredient, but I thought oil is bad for IBS. (Heather's "The First Year IBS" list all oils, fats, and spreads as triggers.) Is it because it's in small quantities?
Also, are soy substitutes safe?
Thanks

The answers to what your asking are in the book;I don't think much info has changed, except some manufacturers' uncontrollable changing ingredients;If you look at all info. inclusively in especially the book, it's easier to figure diet. Takes time. It depends on how you use your fats:
Look for ingredients around 25% in fat calories preferably that are using the mainly good type of oils mentioned in diet, better explained in the book;Rounding a bit, if something is 100 cal. at least 20% of that would be 20 fat calories. Some people have to have their fats at the end of their meals mainly;Like I'll put my oil in a med. sized spice bottle cap other than what's already "in" my meal, to eat at end of meal. Some have to have absolutely fat free snacks, or just ask for no oil in occasional restaurant meals. But taking the Tummy Tamers extra coated peppermint+ caps before main meals and the slowly built up acacia soluble fiber before eating anything for me buffers chances of triggers;Drinking the teas help tone down triggers. Otherwise, too much of a guessing game.

Heather says "Keep your fat intake to 20% - 25% of total calories, and make your fats count"

Yes - always check ingredients. Most rice milk manufacturers used to add corn oil for a better texture. I don't think that's true any more, but you never know.
Read ingredients! If they're not adding fats then see what works best for you - soy, rice, oat, almond, hemp, they all have tasty varieties.
