Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Beef is a nono but are beef broths ok?

I went out for a work dinner the other night at an Asian restaurant.
The only RELATIVELY safe thing they had on the menu was a beef broth soup with massive rice noodles in it.

I didn't get sick from it. I had the noodles first of course and then quite a lot of beef broth. It was dark but clear no fat. I had some beef but it was sliced very wafer thin so not much at all. It is probably the only way I have had beef and been able to tolerate it. I also had some silken tofu that had been crumbed and fried but the tofu was not fatty as they fried it at a very high temp. I could not taste any grease at all.

Is beef broth ok? It was a clear kinda soup with noodles and bok choy, thai basil and mung bean sprouts but I did not have many mung bean sprouts only some after the noodles and there were a LOT of noodles. I also had some slippery elm and digestive enzymes with it which I have at every meal as I honestly think they help me.

I know that red meat is a nono but is it ok to have it just as a broth?
