Hi. I'm new to IBS, but I'm beginning the "What to Eat When You Can't Eat Anything" diet. However, I'm a little worried about how to begin incorporating insoluable fiber. What should I eat after I've stabilized? I'm sure this has been covered in other posts and if someone could point me to those posts, recipe ideas,etc I'd really appreciate it!

Soup, SOUP, SOUP! It's such an easy way to incorporate veggies into your diet. Either make or buy some fat-free chicken or vegetable stock and keep it on hand. Buy your favorite veggies (include some potatoes), avoiding some of the "tougher-to-digest" varieties (cabbage, broccoli, etc.), and chop them up and throw them in the stock. Let it simmer for an hour, and bingo you have some great insolubles. Serve with some French or sourdough bread. Start out by eating just a little of the soup if you're at all gunshy.
Fix a smoothie to get some of your fruit. Heather's banana berry smoothie is terrific, and her suggestion of using a food processor instead of a blender is spot-on! It really does a much better job. Easy to digest, you get your insoluble fruit, and absolutely delicious.
By the way, I love your name, GoodTum!

As always, Bev has some great suggestions. The two insolubles I add back first are always oatmeal and Cheerios. Then cracked wheat bread which is usually half white and half whole wheat. Triscuit crackers also work for me. Then I can start doing well cooked veggies and some fruit purees or smoothies.
