Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Can you point me to this recipe? I did a quick Search and couldn't find it.

As Gracie says, tolerances differ. However, the recipes on the Board are supposed to follow the EFI Guidelines. You shouldn't find one with trigger foods - red meat, dark meat poultry, dairy, egg yolks - and the percent of calories from fat should be reasonable. The last requirement (percent of CFF) is not always adhered to as strictly as the others. For desserts, that's generally accepted - the idea is to eat a little of the dessert after a low-fat, high Soluble Fiber main part of the meal, so the total percent of CFF for the whole meal/whole day stays no higher than 25%.

I have, however, run across at least one recipe for a main dish where the percent of CFF seemed awfully high. I think people sometimes post the original recipe they've found (with all the fat) and just assume those reading it will know to cut the fat.

I don't think any single person - either Heather or a moderator - is reviewing every single recipe at this point (although I could be wrong), so I believe we're self-policing. If something looks like it's too high in fat, you can always do the fat math and post that as a cautionary note. No need to be ugly about it, just something saying, "This recipe gets 35% of calories from fat. That's way too high for me." If you can figure out how to do it, it's helpful to go on to explain how the recipe could be modified to reduce the fat.

HTH.
