Loc: Maine (IBS-A stable since July '05!)

Everything looks pretty good, except the Banana Mocha Mousse. Anything sugar free like the pudding mix and mocha mix most likely has artificial sweeteners in it, and those are definitely an IBS trigger.

If the mocha mix contains coffee, that's a trigger too, even though it's decaf. Also, keep an eye out for dairy products "hidden" in foods, usually in the form of dairy derivatives like whey and casein - the mocha mix probably has some, the pudding might as well. Sorry.

I don't know what point you're at with the diet, but when you're just starting out and trying to get stable, it's best to stick with the basics - rice, potatoes, white fish, chicken breast, pasta - and then slowly start adding in other things. It's boring, but those foods are universally "safe" and by doing that, you can almost immediately know when you've eaten something that doesn't work for you. I know that tomato sauce was a problem for me at the very beginning, although I'm fine with it now. Same for mayo, soy milk, and soy cheeses.

Just by way of curiosity, what are your fitness and calorie goals and such? I'm sure (I'm hoping!!) you don't typically eat 700 calories in a day. (Unless you're going through the same thing I did, in which case you have my complete sympathy... last summer, I had reached a point with my IBS where I was so sick that I was barely eating 200 calories a day. It took me a few months to work up to eating like a normal person again. I hope that's not the case for you, just because it was miserable!)

Feel better!
