Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Fennel Seed Cookies and MORE QUESTIONS

Hi - I'm so impressed you have the gums already! Wanna come over to my house and bake some cookes?

I've been meaning to play with the gums after buying some Sun Flour Vegan Cookies. They are unbelievable - almost fat free, no triggers, and the chocolate chip flavor is to die for. Lemon ain't bad either. I don't know how they do it. There's even soluble fiber in them!

Honey gets 40% of its sugar from fructose, so that's why it's lumped into that category. I'm not sure if you'd be completely intolerant to it if you're just eating small quantities (like on toast).

For the corn syrup, I'm not sure how much (if any) of the sugar in natural corn syrup is from fructose at all. I use the dark version because the light variety actually adds high fructose corn syrup to the ingredients. The dark doesn't. I use only the dark variety, and have never had a problem (with recipe results or IBS attacks). But, I'm also not fructose intolerant aside from the usual IBS sensitivity to it.

There's actually no creme de menthe in the cookies, it's in the ice cream. But I'd love your recipe for the homemade liqueur - I really like to use liqueurs in desserts. If you post that, you might note that it's for cooking or baking with (and not drinking straight shots on an empty stomach!).

Best,
Heather
