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

I have a feeling you don't mean things one can bake like lowfat brownies. You can have sweets on this diet as long as they are dairy free and low in fat. There are lots of candies that fit that description. There are also cookies etc in the natural foods section that are safe. Junior mints are ok. Sorbet and soy ice cream are ok. Sugary cereals may be safe. Occasional pieces of dark chocolate are tolerated by many. There are tons of desserts that can be easily baked but not too often can you find anything premade that is safe, except angel food cake.
First of all though you should follow the strict break the cycle diet to stabilize yourself.

IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
