Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

There are plenty of fruits and vegetables that you can eat that are low in IF and high in SF. For example, peeled potatoes, carrots, zucchini, squash, kiwi, banana, beets, parsnips, turnips, sweet potatoes and the list goes on

Once you are stable with these then you can slowly start increasing the amount of IF until you have problems and then back off the amount of IF until the symptoms subside. One of best ways to start increasing IF would be not to peel the carrots, zucchini, etc. The skin has loads of IF. Cream corn, celery and the likes are definitely foods you should treat with caution if not avoiding completely if you want to see good improvement.

Perhaps you should re-read Heather's information again. She recommends eating as much IF as possible but not so much that it cause IBS problems.
