Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Dear Angelwhispers,

I like your screen name. Welcome to the IBS board, the greatest place on the internet!!

I agree with Casey. I'm one of the people who can drink V8 as long as I have some soluble fiber with it. I also drink pineapple juice every day with breakfast. Citrus aggravates my acid reflux so I limit it to once or twice a week and only at lunch (for some reason it settles best then).

So I say, juice away but moderation in all things! Also remember that we DO have to get SOME insoluble fiber for our overall general health. So cooking and eating some of those things you're juicing is also a good idea. Or making them into a smoothie so the insoluble fiber is pureed and easier on the tummy. (This is a paid commercial announcement for my "Pumpkin Pie Smoothie" recipe on the Recipe board -- do a search, it's YUMMY!)

Anyway, glad to have you with us!!

Oh, and PS, bibb lettuce or Boston lettuce would probably be easier on the tummy than iceberg or romaine. A small salad AFTER a meal containing soluble fiber is one of Heather's suggestions!
