Self-Help for IBS

Safe Foods by Brand Name List

For a long time I’ve been contemplating a list of safe foods for IBS, foods that may be available in your local or nearby supermarket. I just found such a list, that is comprehensive, on Heather Van Vorous’s web site. The link is as follows:

Safe Foods List, By Country

I would caution you still to READ THE LABEL (that’s similar to the injunction to RTFM). For people, like me, who also need a low-carbohydrate diet, and who do not tolerate most artificial sugar substitutes, some of the Soy milks listed are not acceptable. Look for unsweetened soymilk. If you can’t find unsweetened soy milk, look for the use of crystallized cane sugar (or “evaporated cane juice”=sugar) in low quantity. You can tell this by comparing carbohydrate counts.

Update: There is a page of links to purchase unsweetened soy and other milks at IBS Tummy Chow.
