In general, all squash are very safe for IBS as they're really high in soluble fiber. You can roast squash, bake it, microwave it, or cook it into a soup. Either fresh whole squash or frozen chunks of squash work best. The frozen pureed kinds don't taste very good compared to fresh.
I like to roast buttercup or acorn squash, then chop the cooked flesh and mix into cooked pasta. This is really good with some shredded fresh herbs, balsamic vinegar, fresh lemon zest, or other seasonings. I don't use a recipe, just throw ingredients in and keep tasting. I like capers in there too, but a lot of people don't care for these.
Squash and root veggies are very safe for IBS, and they're also really healthy, so enjoy!
Best,
Heather
