Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I'm relatively new to eating for IBS - and am discovering new "substitutions" every day. So far my fav comfort food is mashed potatoes, mac & cheese and rolls. Our local Bi-Lo store has the best mashed potatoes. If I'm having a really bad day - it's pretzels and peppermint tea. I drink a LOT of peppermint tea. I especially love having a Dove dark chocolate (after dinner of course) with a cup of peppermint tea. I have also found out that there are some serious gourmet hot chocolate mixes out there where you add milk that are wonderful. I bought some Godiva dark chocolate truffle hot chocolate mix and mixed it with Silk soy milk and a couple of drops of peppermint oil - Yuuuuummmmyyyyy!!!! Also I have 3 teenage sons, and cooking around my IBS is a real hassle, so I have learned that you can use ground turkey in a lot of things - meatloaf, spaghetti, etc, and they will never even know it's turkey. Trust me - I've had no complaints on this one! Also turkey burgers are delicious! And today - through the message boards - I found out about Roma (chicory coffee) and bought some of that. My love of coffee has been the hardest thing for me to get over - especially on Monday mornings - ugh! Thanks so much for all the great info.
