Hello!

Unfortunately most of what you listed are IBS triggers. However there are always substitutions that are safe to eat. If you haven't already I recommend reading Heather's book Eating for IBS. Here are some things that you can substitute. In parenthesis and in all caps next to your list I've noted some substitutes that you can try...

-Yogurt (SOY YOGURT)
-Milk (especially Giant brand, and Lactaid) (SOY, RICE OR ALMOND MILK)
-Cheese related snacks such as Cheetos, Goldfish, and Cheese-It (NONE OF THESE WOULD BE SAFE,TRY BAKED CHIPS)
-French Fries and Cheeseburgers (Burger King & McDonald's (ANYTHING FROM BURGER KING OR MCDONALD's LIKE THAT IS A TRIGGER, FOR EATING SOMETHING OUT QUICK TRY SUBWAY OVEN ROASTED CHICKEN WITHOUT CHEESE)
-Ground beef for hoemade cheeseburgers (GROUND TURKEY or GROUND CHICKEN)
-Self-specific cheese (Velveeda)(CHEESE IS A HUGE TRIGGER TRY SOY OR VEGAN CHEESES THE BRAND DAIYA CHEESE IS GOOD)
-bread (BREAD IS FINE)
-pizza (Domino's, and especially since I'll be working for them soon.)(YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN IBS SAFE PIZZA'S HEATHER HAS RECIPES FOR THAT IN HER BOOK)
-Kraft Macaroni & Cheese (and just M&C in general)(THERE ARE IBS SAFE MAC & CHEESE RECIPES ON THIS SITE BUT KRAFT WOULD NOT BE GOOD)
-High-in-fiber foods such as Raisin Bran, All-Bran, and Quaker's oratmeal (OATMEAL IS FINE HOWEVER I WOULD WATCH THE OTHER HIGH-IN-FIBER FOODS THE ONES THAT ARE INSOLUBLE FIBER. GOOD FOODS TO EAT THAT HAVE FIBER BUT IS SOLUBLE FIBER ARE RICE, POTATOES, SWEET POTATOES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. FOR CEREAL I WOULD TRY RICE OR CORN CHEX.

D you currently take a fiber supplement? That is a big help for a lot of people when managing IBS. Heather has a great tummy fiber that works really well. You could also use Citrucel or Benefiber. That makes a big difference for me. It's hard making a big change in our eating habits but when you start feeling better it's really worth it. There are still a lot of good foods that you can eat out there that are safe. In time you won't even miss the bad foods as much. There are a lot of wonderful recipes on this site. In time you'll get to be a pro at adapting your favorite meals to IBS safe meals. Like I said read Heather's book Eating For IBS. It's really helpful on what you should our shouldn't eat, it's a really good tool. Good luck to you!
