I am under the impression that some people with Fibro also have IBS. My daughter has IBS and I wonder if any one has any nice recipes that they have found that don't cause it to kick off.

Hi terry I can eat anything as long as it doesn't have artificial. Sweetners especially sorbitol... And also I can eat cereal BUT NOT in the morning , they are fine for supper ...but artificial sweetners and my ibs do not agree at all

I have heard some pretty ghastly things about aspartame recently, and I know a friend who has had IBS (not combined with fibro) has cut this out of her intake and the IBS has improved considerably. it may be coincidental, but may be worth looking at. Good wishes to you and your daughter. Foggy

hi there,

ohh i have IBS too had it 25yeeers i could eat a lot of things but not now.

like VG said without artifical things and steering away from caffeine and sweetners and those sweeties that are sugar free.

i love a lot of jacket potatoes with diffrent fillings in

pasta i love pasta also with different things ilove with tuna and onion.

i like my potatoes boiled and garden peas and fish without battter some steamed foods are good.

big lover of salmon with fresh vegetables and sauces. .

skinless sausages and mash

i never use too much salt if any.

but i do love salt.

mayonaise is better than thinking of brown sauce which i do love but a little spicy now. if i do i mix it with mayonaise.

i dont do everything by the book!

sandwiches i love .

got to be careful if out and about and eating as always need to rush loo and thats not good in public! :-/
