Anybody know what i CAN eat???

Question

I have CP-IBS and it's very painful, blah blah usual story. I've been on tons of sites giving me lists and lists of what I CANNOT eat, and as I read them more and more I am running out of things I CAN eat. Anybody going through this have some good tips on eating? Maybe just a list of things that are okay to eat?

Help is much appreciated. Thanks guys.

Answer 1

If you know what triggers your IBS, obviously stay away from those foods.  

Helpforibs.com is an excellent site.  This is from her site:

Safe Foods To Eat When You Can't Eat Anything

White breads (such as French or sourdough), not whole wheat or multi-grain

Toasted plain bagels

Toasted plain English muffins

Cream of Rice cereal

Pretzels (salted or unsalted)

Fat-free Saltines

Fat-free fortune cookies

Plain angel food cake, homemade or from a mix

Plain baked potatoes (without the skin)

Plain white rice

Arrowroot crackers

Cold fat-free cereal such as Corn Chex, Kix, Rice Chex, Rice Krispies, Honeycomb, or Corn Pops, eaten dry. At all costs avoid bran, granola, and whole wheat choices, as well as cereals with raisins, other dried fruits, or nuts

Homemade dried or fresh bananas

Plain cooked pasta (not egg), sprinkled with a little salt

Lots and lots of strong hot peppermint, fennel, chamomile, or ginger tea

Hope you feel better!
