Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: IBS-Safe Snack Ideas

Heather's Honey Glazed Snack Mix from EFI - you can make a big batch and it's absolutely addictive. I ate tons of it when I first stared the diet and needed a snack that wouldn't make me cry over all the stuff I couldn't eat.

Her guacamole is also great, but be sure to eat it with lots of Baked Tostitos to balance the fat. It might be just the ticket since the creaminess and relatively high fat content might compensate a little for your lack of cheese. And avocadoes have lots of good vitamins, if I remember correctly. (You can supposedly also make a good guacamole with just a ripe avocado and green Tabasco sauce - I haven't tried it, but what could be simpler? You should be able to find references to it by Searching on "green Tabasco".)

Hummus - I know you're sick of it, but there's a recipe for artichoke hummus in the Recipe Board that's really great. It's too new to be in the index, but you can find it by Searching.

Smoothies - this might fool you into thinking you're actually getting dairy.

Baked Tostitos and salsa - practically no fat, lots of SF, and it feels like you're eating something you shouldn't be.

Pretzels - the simplest snack of all, but I love them

In EFI breads, I really like the Pumpkin Apple Spice Bread and the Sweet Cinnamon Zucchini Bread. They're both delicious and you're getting your fruits and vegetables, too. And the Simple Sweet Cornbread is incredibly soothing.

The EFI Chocolate Silk Pudding is a little work, but it's unbelievable creamy and chocolate-y. Again, it could fool you into thinking you're getting dairy.

I hope this helps a little. Take care.
