Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hi. I have had IBS-C for over 2 years now and have experienced "labor pains" quite frequently over the past few years due to IBS. My GI doc. prescribed Miralax daily and I've been taking that for 2 years...it helped on and off; sometimes I think it causes "attacks" and I think Heather agrees. I have been using Heather's products (Acacia and Fennel tea) for about 3 weeks and have modified my diet according to her book/web site for the most part (no dairy, use of egg whites/no yellow, no fried, low fat)...so far so good. I hate to be too optimistic so soon, but I am! My question is about snacks...are things such as Honey Maid graham crackers and Fig Newtons, for example, ok? A list of common snack and other foods would be great if there is one out there. I have tried several recipes and like most of them but easy to grab snacks...that's where I need advice; I am a real snacker! I read about Baked Lays and Tostitos and pretzels, which is great but other "safe" snacks to grab at the gro. store is where I'm lacking at this point. I do read the ingredients but a cheat sheet for this type of food would be great. Thank you!
