Hi Beth, SF stands for soluble fiber (like Citrucel,Benefiber--check out Heather's page on this). IBS and GERD doesn't mean you can't travel--my mom has GERD and I have IBS and we both travel at least a few weeks out of the year--we just be sure to bring our meds, esp. because vacations really make you want to cheat (have that extra glass of French wine or more than one bite of a yummy pastry). Another thing you'll have to watch out for is butter, esp. in Germany and France it could be a hidden ingredient in many dishes. Do you know how to say "Where's the restroom?" in all these languages? (j/k, but it might not be a bad phrase to look up and memorize)
