Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Pizza?
Is there any kind of pizza that a person with IBS can have?
I can answer this, I think, but you have to read to the end of the post. These are the suggested rules for pizza:
- I don’t believe you can eat the whole thing. Eat pizza only when you are sharing it with someone else.
- Order a pizza without cheese.
- Most pizza makers are used to such order, from people who keep kosher, and from people who are lactose intolerant, so it’s unlikely that they’ll question your order.
- Pizza is not for breakfast
- Pizza is for one day a week, not four, five, or seven!
- Mushrooms are a safe topping; if you must, order a vegetarian pizza and pick and choose your toppings.
So you *can* have pizza, within limits.
Bottom Line
Order a mushroom pizza without cheese, and with extra mushrooms.
