are they ok to eat if you have ibs
or are they a trigger food

Blueberries are not a Soluble Fiber but neither are they a Trigger Food. Rather they're Insoluble Fiber which means you shouldn't eat them alone or on an empty stomach. Instead eat them with Soluble Fiber. So in IBS-safe muffins, on an SF cereal, in a smoothie like Bel (yum).

Here's an old post the gives a simple test for any food you're thinking about eating: web page

I would add that whenever you try a new Insoluble Fiber food, it's safest to start with a small amount - just a few blueberries in a bowl of cereal or a smoothie, for example - and see how you do. And remember that IF foods are usually better tolerated if they're chopped, cooked, and/or pureed - whirling blueberries in a blender, for example.

HTH. I love blueberries and often have IBS-safe blueberry pancakes for Sunday breakfast.

Cook them, puree them, add to soluble fiber, etc. Follow the insoluble fiber rule here. -nt-
