Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Acacia and increased bowel movements

Thanks for the support. I forgot to mention that I generally eat a bit of applesauce w/carob powder every morning, and chicken noodle soup (which has some veggies in it) a couple times a week. Not that those add any significant amount of vegetable/fruit matter to my diet, but they add a bit. I've also tried to bring boiled peas back in w/Beano occasionally, but I'm not sure about their effect. What kind of smoothies are you recommending? Fruit or vegetable? And are their any non-bean vegetable spreads that can be homemade without much fat or beans in them (and still taste OK?)?

So I used to eat oatmeal, and love it, but it seemed to worsen my diarrhea. Maybe I was eating it in too large of quantities because I liked it so much...how much would you suggest and what kind? I went back and forth between instant kinds and the Old Fashioned Quaker, because I couldn't figure out which was more easily digested. It seems to me that the Old Fashioned kind has way more IF, or is just harder to digest as entire oat flakes, but they both did me in pretty bad I think. Thanks!
