Hi - what would be best is sauerkraut with live cultures. It is a fermented food, so should have probiotics in it, but many modern versions no longer have live cultures as they're pasteurized.
I don't know what the 'raw' designation means. Organic is good, that means no herbicides, pesticides, GMO, sewage sludge fertilizer, etc.
Live cultures should be specified on the product label.
It is still going to have insoluble fiber, which is still an IBS trigger. Have sauerkraut like you would cabbage in any other form - smaller quantities, make sure it's chopped/diced or already finely shredded, add to a soluble fiber food foundation, do not eat by itself on an empty stomach, etc. http://www.helpforibs.com/diet/fiber2.asp
Other than that, enjoy!
Best,
Heather
