Eating for IBS Recipes ~ Beverages
Blended beverages are a wonderful way to eat fresh fruit, as the insoluble fiber in foods like strawberries and peaches is much less of a trigger when it's finely pureed. Ingredients such as ginger and fennel are very soothing to the GI tract, and lend themselves deliciously to a wide variety of teas.
Creamy drinks are a breeze with soy milk or tofu, and additions such as bananas and almonds add lots of soluble fiber. Remember that it's safest to drink fresh fruit beverages with meals, and that ice-cold liquids can cause problems on an empty stomach, but feel free to enjoy the hot teas at any time.
