Hi! I'm new here so please bear with me as I figure all of this out. I have really enjoyed reading & rereading many of your post. *on a side note I have been IBSD for 5 1/2 months with no relief - until I found this site. I have now had no D for 15 days!! Yeah!!!  I still have pain/gas so I'm hoping to totally remake my diet to fix that.
Does anyone have a list of pantry staples - must haves/must keep on hand? I really need to restock my kitchen and try to make it as IBS friendly as possible. Thanks for any and all replies.
So far I know I need: (Please let me know if I'm not correct)
Soy milk (unsweetened for cooking)
Soy cheeses
Smart Balance Light

I keep
Unsweetened apple sauce
Canned pumpkin for random pie urges
White rice (I'm a little scared of the brown rice as I don't think I'd cope well wit the extra IF but I have just discovered the joys of sweet sushi rice)
bananas
frozen berries for smoothies
I freeze a lot of fish so I can have some protein for dinner
lemons are surprising useful
soy milk
nut butters
yams
carrots
chick peas for making hummas
rice kripies and cornflakes
oatmeal
not really a staple but I use my bread maker a lot
