Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | A couple of questions about safe foods...

OK folks, after spending more time on this board I realized that I needed to be strict about the IBS diet until my symptoms clear up for a while. I bought the soy cheese and soy milk, cut out the red meat, coffee and egg yolks, and am now hoping to begin to improve my digestion at some point soon. The questions I don't see answers to so far on this site or in Heather's book are (and forgive me if they are here but I overlooked them):

1) What about goat milk products? Can I eat chevre or goat or buffalo milk yogurt?

2) I'm pregnant so I need to keep up on eating enough iron (I was advised by my doctor not to take the iron supplements due to my IBS which is primarily D but always alternates once I have treated the D). My last blood test showed very high iron levels, but I hadn't started this IBS diet really (I thought I had but I was kidding myself). Can anyone lead to me a site or just tell me which of the IBS foods contain high levels of iron? I know of quinoa, chickpeas, and fortified cereal. What about oatmeal? Otherwise I'm depending on IF veggies I suppose, since meat is out altogether.
