Wow, you really sound like a great mom! OK, from my personal expierence with IBS C, I need more insoluble fiber to make me go, if she id experiencing C, I would suggest upping the insoluble fiber foods and see if that helps! Oatmeal for breakfast is great, have her alternate it with a high fiber cereal I like raisin bran-don't have her eat it everyday, start with a couple times a week kinds thing to be sure it will settle with her ok. She should cut out all dairy-I really enjoy the RiceDream Vanilla "milk"with my oatmeal and cereal. Hummus had a good about of insoluble fiber in it, it makes a great snack on pita-I even add a few slices of turky and lettuce a mkae a roll up. BAKED tortilla chips are great-I like black bean dip with them(you can find a reciepe on the reiepe board or buy it in a jar by the mexican food in the regular grocery store)its non fat and very high in fiber. I don't know much about the bars you are talking about, be sure to check the fat content. I eat Kudos, I think they have a very small amount of dairy in them but they don't bother me. Really have her try to avoid the pizza at school, not only because the dairy but its also constipating. You can make her pizza at home with glat pita or bread and rice mozzeralla cheese and I like chicken on mine. Maybe buy her some applesauce snack cups, I eat those all the time. Check the health food grocery stores for bean burritos to toss in the microwave. Rice cakes are great. I buy some soy cakes in BBQ that are real yummy. she can try a salad once in a while with chicken and lowfat dressing if she eats some bread first-I can tolerate that about once a week any more and it upset my tummy. When she is eating out have her look for roll up chicken or turkey snadwiches with low fat dressing. Turkey burgers are becoming more popular at restratunts as well. Pasta dishes with red sauce are usually ok. Its really a matter of trail to see what she can tolerate. Feel free to email me if you would like. michelebrake@sbcglobal.net
