Hello All,

My husband recently purchased a Pepperidge Farm coconut cake. I ate the cake including the coconut on top of the frosting.

I had a bad reaction to this. Is coconut one of the IBS
triggers? Below are two links to the product.

Thanks Much!!

Those are the most likely culprits. Most commercial desserts are very high fat, and have lots of dairy. Coconut is also inherently high fat, so be careful.

Best,
Heather

Per the box, dairy was less than 2%, but it IS high in fat, about 44% per the Pepperidge Farm website!

Thanks Heather!

BUMMER!!
