Yes Val you're right, there is a lot of fat in salmon (7 grams in 4 oz.) ....the good heart healthy kind of fat, but fat nonetheless. For some people with IBS it just doesn't bother them if they are only eating a normal 4 oz. serving with other no-fat foods like rice. As much as I LOVE salmon (and I mean REALLY love it) I have to choose the lower fat white fish types instead...halibut---2 g. fat in 4oz and cod with 1 g. per 4oz. My sensitivity to salmon happened ONLY with the onset of IBS...darn .... Sooo, if you try it don't overdo it-----and see what happens. You may be fine. Someday I'm going to try to make my own salmon burgers with more rice/mushrooms/and canned salmon which seem to be a bit lower in fat and see what happens.
