Hi Val, Yes, if you're willing, post the ingredients of the Smucker's syrup and Nesquik powder. Some of us may be able to tell if it is ok or not, but probably the best way is just to have a little of it yourself and see if you start feeling funny from it. For me, since I'm fructose sensitive (not all IBS folks are but quite a few) then anything that would say High Fructose Corn Syrup, or Fructose might cause a problem depending on how much of it is in the product. For me I stay away, completely, from anything that has HFCS but if it has a little fructose with the main sweetener being sugar (ingredients are listed in order of how much is in the product with the most being listed first) then it may not be a problem. Anyway, you did well and I think you may come up with a strawberry additive to go with your bananas in your smoothie.
Wow, Dairy Ease??? Never heard of it. I checked the web site (thanks for posting) and it looks very interesting. Again, the only problem for me might be the fructose but it's hard to say unless I tried it. (Would love to so just may have to order some.) It MAY not bother you at all and is likely worth a try. Gee, how nice it would be to have something that really, truely tasted like milk!!!! (Oh how I miss the stuff even though I didn't drink a lot of it.)
Your Amy's soups sounds wonderful and perfectly ok on all accounts. Having your good sourdough bread with it sounds great. Don't think you'd ever find Anderson's split pea soup in a health food store but as far as I know it's in all the major grocery stores in CA. The reason I like it is the taste...............it's just so yummy good compared to any other out there. It's soooo thick I have to thin it with water before I eat it.
Glad you had a good productive day finding all those things that will keep your tummy from complaining.
