The sugar is a big factor in baking- not just to make things sweet but to add to the basic texture too. I would only remove a little sugar from a recipe. Otherwise I woould use already adapted recipes. You could get a stevia cookbook from the library.
Keep in mind the levels of bacteria in the gut are not what causes a person to have IBS. IBS is separate and can still be a big problem with lots of good bacteria. However, if you can give up sugar it can only be a good thing! Good luck!
-------------------- IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
