Nope - what matters is the calories       11/07/03 12:56 PM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA If the number of calories in both buns is equal, you're no more likely to gain weight from the white bun than the whole wheat. If you burn more calories than you eat, you'll lose weight. If you eat more calories than you burn, you'll gain weight. Doesn't matter where/when/how those calories come from. The catch here is that the whole wheat bun would fill you up for a longer period of time than the white bun because of the insoluble fiber, so you're less likely to keep eating more food. But the insoluble fiber could trigger IBS symptoms. So, it's a matter of finding a balance between a good soluble fiber base for your IBS, and incorporating as much insoluble fiber (from all sources - maybe whole wheat is intolerable for you, but brown rice or cooked veggies aren't) as you can while keeping your gut stable. You can also eliminate refined sugars from your diet completely (candy, desserts, white/brown sugars in recipes, corn syrup, etc.) You don't need them for anything. - Heather -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.
