Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Do you mean for snacks or for meals? There are a lot of recipe suggestions on the recipes board and otherwise make sure to read Heather's information pages on soluble and insoluble fibers and trigger foods. starting here . But it is true that it is confusing at first to know what can be eaten. For many the fat content has to be very low (20%) and raw veggies and even some fruits are hard to tolerate especially at first. For the basis of your diet white rice, cereals and oatmeals, fresh breads, coooked root veggies and pastas are best. Also try baking some of the good dessert/breakfast breads in Heather's book and on the recipe page.
A word of cuation: sometimes temperature bothers people and so frozen bananas maybe aren't a good idea. It is better to eat them at room temperature. Also smoothies are great but have no SF so they should be eaten after something like toast or cereal or a muffin.

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!
