web page This is a list of IBS trigger foods. Print it out and have your daughter post it in her room.
I agree with TessLouise - it sounds like dairy might be your daughter's problem - not soluble fibre. HAve her try to eat a plain slice of bread and see what happens. Chances are, she'll be fine.
By the way, has she been officially diagnosed and tested for Celiac? Celiac can explain why if she does actually have a problem with wheat.
Here's a list of helpful handies you can give her - all soluble fiber and safe foods.
Applesauce containers
Instant rice - cooks with boiling water
Instant oatmeal (some people have trouble with oatmeal, though)
Pretzels
Baked Lays
Baked Tostitos
Peek Freans "NICE" cookies
White Bread
White bagels
White english muffins
Light peanut butter used sparingly
Jam and jellies
Jello cups (NOT pudding, just Jello)
Peppermint Tea (ESSENTIAL - drink 3-4 cups daily)
Decaf herbal teas - Chamomile, fennel, ginger are also good
Soy or rice milk
Cranberry juice boxes or bottles(small amounts with soluble fibre and read the labels - they like to add other juices - make sure it's just cranberry)
I would tend to avoid "bars" as you call them - I assume you mean protein or cereal kinds. They tend to have a lot of additives and potentially the wrong kind of fiber). If you do, read the labels carefully.
Premium Plus Saltine crackers
Chicken Noodle Soup - instant packets just add water
This is just off the top of my head. I think there may be a few strands in the recipe board for safe snacks and cookies, etc.
I hope this helps.
Encourage her to eat small amounts frequently. NO big meals. Better to eat several small meals throughout the day ALWAYS with soluble fiber.
I hope she's doing better.
