If you are struggling to stay on a diet that avoids triggers for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), and miss crunchy foods like nuts and crispy chocolate bars, try this.
Drink hot chocolate made with Hershey’s Cocoa ™(unsweetened), not water, and Stevia — at the same time you are eating crunchy, cruchy Mariani Banana Chips ™. Lots of crunch, lots of chocolate flave
Or, if you are fairly stable, you can substitute Kosher dark chocolate coins from Manischewitz, no more than one bag. Or you could make a cup of Rocamojo mocha soy drink.
Mariani Banana Chips have less fat than ethnic banana chips I’ve been able to buy, which accounts for their preference here.

This will probably wind up as a page, as well as a post.
There are two web resources, as far as I know, that provide some lists of snacks for IBS.
This list, at tummychow.com, approaches the category of “what to eat when you can’t eat anything!”
There is a somewhat longer list at the Heather Van Vorous web site, in the forums.
Snacks, taken before your stomach is empty, seem to me to be helpful in quieting the gastro-colic reflex, that is hyper-alert and ready to be activated when your stomach is empty. I would still suggest beginning meals with soluble fiber–acacia, inulin, or guar gum–in commercial terms that’s Heather’s Organic Acacia Tummy Fiber, FiberSure, or Benefiber.
