Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I am mostly D and sometimes C. I am reasonably stable but not pain free.

The items in your chilli that I could eat are chicken breast, zuchinni (peeled) and some spices. If I made chilli I would use tomato paste instead of tomatoes. During a very stable period I might add some pre-well-boiled green beans and I would include carrots too. I would eat a 1/4-1/2 cup serving with 1/2 cup aged basmati rice (white).

I cannot handle green pepper, tomatoes or onions. And I have to be very careful of the amount of spice I put in my food. I am quite sensitive to the amount of IF I ingest. In order to remain stable I have to keep my IF very low and my SF quite high. Peppers, onions and spices have too much IF in them for me no matter how fine they are chopped or ground.

Everyone is different. If you can handle foods with high amounts of insoluble fibre then go for it and enjoy.

Please report back your experience. GL
