The prebiotic - oligofructose - is a high FODMAP ingredient - it is not particularly IBS friendly. Shakeology also contains non-GMO fructose. This is definitely not IBS friendly. Also, the product contains 15 grams of whey - a dairy protein. Heather considers it a IBS trigger food and an unsafe IBS food constituent. Shakeology does not look like an IBS friendly product.

As for the enteric coated peppermint & caraway oils you might look a Heather's peppermint oil capsules. Enteric coated peppermint caps such as the one Heather sells are known from clinical trials to be effective for managing IBS symptoms particularly pain.

An important thing to consider is the kind of vegetables that you are eating. Raw veggies such as those in salsa can be a problem. And brown rice and okra have a considerable amount of insoluble fiber which can be a problem. It might be worth while reading Heather's information on insoluble fiber and soluble fiber..

Have you read Heather's how to break the cycle of IBS attacks?
