It seems that many people post that their IF comes from fruits and veggies and that some people completely avoid whole wheat (as a first ingredient) at all costs b/c it's too harsh for their bodies. I have tried eating one slice of whole wheat bread and didn't have a problem and one other time I had a half of a multi-grain English muffin. Both times were of course paired with SF. Besides the fact that I'm missing whole grains, I am looking for quick and easy ways to incorporate more IF in my diet throughout the day. Sometimes I just don't have fruit or veggies handy (like if I'm out) or if I do, I bring an SF (like a banana) and I don't want to eat raw carrots or something.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Yesterday I was at the mall and I didn't "pack" a lunch except for water and some graham crackers. To be safe, I grabbed a bagel with my acacia but I knew I should have some IF too and I was stumped. I thought maybe if I found a smoothie place in the food court I could get a smoothie specially ordered? Has anyone ever done that? (I never even made it near the food court). I know I have to just trial and error, but I was just wondering how risky it is to maybe eat a few whole grain/whole wheat crackers or something along with SF throughout the day? Does anyone who is IBS-D/A have success with doing this...just enough to have more bms but not an attack?
Tonight I made a veggie hot dog (gross ) and twice-baked sweet-potatoes. But as I sat there eating, I realized that since sweet potatoes are SF, I wasn't really getting any IF, except for the small bit of pineapple that is in the sweet potato mixture. So I took a few bites of the skin hoping that would help! (never did that before ...don't have to go anywhere tomorrow!) Any suggestions (besides raisins) for IF snacks would be appreciated. I guess I'm getting more daring but want to see what others do within a safe realm.

For those of you who DO eat whole wheat and whole grains...plus good IF snacks?
