Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: IBS Trigger Foods in Heather's Recipes

Heather:

Thank you so much for your very comprehensive reply to my question! It's very helpful to understand your approach in developing IBS-safe recipes. I'm going to forward your reply to one person in particular who has been asking me about this recipe issue.

It is true that I subsist on a very restricted diet. Well, I guess after suffering countless debilitating IBS attacks for 45 years, and only finally finding out last year that I had IBS and how to control it, I am pretty fearful of trying new foods. On the other hand, I do manage to include a variety of organic fruit and vegetables in my diet.

However, I suppose I need to muster up the courage to try some of your recipes. It's just that it's such a relief to be almost completely pain-free since discovering your website that the thought of trying a new food that could make me ill is so unappetizing! Up until now my desire to remain pain-free has outweighed my desire to risk trying new foods. It has been such a dilemma. But I realize I need to take the plunge.

Anyway, thank you so much again. As always your knowledge and information is amazing.

By the way, I wonder if additive-free baked potato chips are available here in Canada. When I checked out Lays baked potato chips in our local supermarket, they contained a lot of additives. Perhaps the Lays chips in the U.S. don't contain the same ingredients. I'll have to check this out when I'm in the U.S. next month. As for corn chips, it is possible I may be allergic to them. I have a number of allergies and the allergist recommended I not have corn products.
