Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I'm new at this whole thing too. I've read tons of material on IBS (check out as much on this site as you can, it's VERY valuable).

*I use Splenda instead of sugar (it tastes awesome on plain cheerios

)
*NO EGG YOLKS (very dangerous), but egg whites, egg beaters, better 'n eggs worked fine for me
*fish has always set well with me as long as it's not breaded or fried in oil(try Mahi-Mahi or Talipia...mmmm) if you go out to Red Lobster, the Talipia in a bag has butter--so don't get it! Make sure you ask about what all contains butter b/c you can get the veggies just steamed without butter
*Spreads: either fat-free "I can't believe it's not butter" (don't stir it up in the container, it gets gross) or promise fat-free butter, and as for jelly/jam-> Smuckers low-sugar preserves--very good!
*Pasta & Rice: I try to use ff chicken broth (no msg added) with as many things as I can-- if you try the message board for recipes and foods, you'll probably get more responses!!

Good luck!
