Both! Peppermint tea and rice! Why not? Carrying a tea bag in your purse is a good idea. Also carry a cereal bar or bag of pretzels or something like that if possible.
I hate not finding anything to eat. If I go ahead and order poultry just to eat something (I am trying to give up poultry) that gives me more options. When I am really trying to be vegan it is sometimes so hard at restaurants! And sometimes you order something and something you didn't expect comes out to you! Like I ordered what I thought would be potstickers the other day and they were fried cream cheese and seafood wontons not potstickers, oops. Or ordering soup that ends up being creamy soup. It is tough!

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!
