You might want to change your cereal. Low sugar FF corn flakes are not acceptable for IBS. You can eat Kix, Rice or Corn Chex, Cheerios, but not corn flakes. Also, saltines are not good per Heather's recommendations. Try graham crackers instead. Also, I'm not sure, but mushrooms may be a IBS trigger.Good luck!! Carol
I know everyone tolerates different things. I was just going by Heather's lists below. I'm definetly going to try what you said about crossing things off and trying others. It's hard at first because you don't know what is triggering you, and maybe nothing is if it's been severe for a long time. I appreciate your comments and eveyone elses. You all are the BEST!
Safe Foods To Eat When You Can't Eat Anything * White breads (such as French or sourdough), not whole wheat or multi-grain * Toasted plain bagels * Toasted plain English muffins * Cream of Rice cereal * Pretzels (salted or unsalted) * Fat-free saltines * Fat-free fortune cookies * Plain angel food cake, homemade or from a mix * Plain baked potatoes (without the skin) * Plain white rice * Arrowroot crackers * Cold fat-free cereal such as Corn Chex, Kix, Rice Chex, Rice Krispies, Honeycomb, or Corn Pops, eaten dry. * Homemade dried or fresh bananas * Plain cooked pasta (not egg), sprinkled with a little salt * Lots and lots of strong hot peppermint, fennel, chamomile, or ginger tea
