Do you have an easy make-it-yourself broth recipe? If you do, PLEASE share! Ingredients need to be completely gluten free, sugar free, meat free, dairy free, and IBS safe!
Thanks everyone!

I have a recipe for Vegetable Broth from "The Mediterranean Diet Cookbook" by Nancy Harmon Jenkins. I haven't tried it. It looks yummy, but - how easy do you want it to be? This one requires you to roast your veggies in oil, add flavorings and dried mushrooms, and simmer for at least an hour. I'll be glad to post it if you want it. Or anyone else, for that matter.
The recipe I have is similar in concept to this one I found using Google. The one I have doesn't use tomatoes, bell peppers or turnips; does use two different kinds of mushrooms; and adds some additional seasoning elements.

I have made chicken broth heavy on the veggies for a long time. But taking out the chicken would be fine. Another option is mushroom broth- if you can find cheap dried mushrooms (like at Oriental markets).
The veggies I find work best:
leeks
carrots (just wash good)
celery
onions
couple whole garlic cloves (not too much)
parsnips or turnips (peeled well to remove wax)
then lots of fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, sage, parsley, basil, chives (I would avoid taragon, dill, mint, too much oregano, lavender, cilantro- the flavors would be too strong)
Put very coarsely chopped veggies and herbs in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and some peppercorns. Bring to a boil and then simmer about an hour or 2. Strain, cool and freeze in small amounts if desired. The key to this honestly is the herbs. Try to get some from neighbor's gardens. Go heavy on parsley if you have to buy herbs since it is the cheapest but put at least one other in too, like thyme.
Also never use potatoes in stock since it clouds it, but rutabagas are ok. I don't think sweet potatoes get cloudy but I have never used them.

"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!

leeks
turnips
carrots
potato (optional)
parsnips
packet of dill and parsley
put it all in a big pot and let it simmer for hours/days (I use the crock for 24 hours)
strain, then you can put fresh veggies in and cook until they are soft... the original ones are MUSH... but it tastes yummy!
