Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: sweets allowed on an ibs regime

I totally agree with Little Minnie, especially the "break the cycle" part of Heather's diet. That is a very important first step.

I was at a loss of what I could carry and easily snack on and of course at that point I was having to make sure that any food I ate served dual purposes. Recently I found some quaint little candies that are offered through our new little tea shop locally, but think you could find them at a local India Food Store. They are called candy coated fennel seeds. They taste like little candy coated licorace. The dual purpose was that not only did they give a candy break but they also aided in IBS. Heather also recommends a tea specially made for those of us with this IBS, if you look in the section for the teas.

Another suggestion I found that gave me a sweet treat, was frosted cheerios. I was eating my cream of rice breakfast and noticed the box of cheerios on the table. In the center of the box were some big bold words that said: great source of soluable fiber!!! What to my surprise. I immediately grabbed the box and my glasses and read the entire box. I tried a few hand fulls and no problems. Now I carry a small bag of them in my purse and when I need a snack I eat a few handfuls. I tried froot loops but they did not seem the same.

I hope you don't mind my saying so but your hypnotherapist should be more considerate of the fact that you have IBS, instead of telling you the negative in your diet. People have often tried to spout off all the negative in things I do and I always nicely ask them this: now that you have told me the down side would you like to make some positive suggestions???? But that is just a thought.

I hope you find relief and peace soon,
