Ah, this is why we often code foods as UFO's. To avoid this confusion. Sometimes people are eating safe substitutes (like my coffee, for example) and not explaining it. There's also non-dairy yogurt and cheese. Also, there are plenty of very delicious cakes in Heather's cookbook, so cake is definitely not always a bad food. So sometimes the foods look like no-no's but are safe replacements. Sometimes people are eating the no-no's, a)because IBS is different for everybody and those things don't bother them, or b) because they're cheating and either hope to miraculously avoid the consequences or don't care. Sometimes people want to eat something and don't mind that they'll suffer the consequences. It's all a personal decision. Someday you might get stable enough to risk a tiny Frosty, or you might not want to.
