Two questions:
1) I understand that high fructose corn syrup is bad for people with IBS. Does anyone know of any candy without it -- but that also doesn't have chocolate or dairy? So many types of candy have corn syrup and how do you know if it's high fructose?
2) Are any of you D types successful in getting insoluble fiber into your diet? Seems like even when I eat it after a high-soluble fiber food, I still get D.

Hi,
I can't eat too much HFCS, either. If the ingredients say corn syrup usually it's OK for me. I think if I would eat a piece of bread or a small amount of HFCS I would be OK but I try to stay away from it if I can. I have looked high & low for a bread without HFCS. I found Rainbo Big loaf doesn't have it. Even a lot of fresh baked goods from the grocery store have it. UGH!
I have a problem with insolubles, too. I can't tolerate the fiber supplements. I eat oatmeal every morning and that agrees with me. Otherwise the only veggies I can seem to tolerate are small amount of cooked carrots & peas. I am scared to try any other veggies but I am going to get brave soon and do so. My suggestion would be to try them in very, very small amounts at first. That's what I am going to do.
I am sure you will find lots of helpful info on the boards.
Good luck

I can't help with the sweets, but I can give a little advice on the insolubles: go slowly! Honestly, I still haven't ventured very far with the insolubles... there's a few vegetables and fruits that I'm safe with, and that's what I've stuck with for now. I found that peas, carrots, and spinach are safe for me, and as far as fruits go, canned peaches, canned pears, and babyfood fruits. That's about it. And as always, add them in small amounts, and after a good soluble fiber base. And make sure those veggies are REALLY cooked!
Smoothies, and the fruit- and vegetable-containing quick breads and muffins, are another good way to start adding the insolubles back in.
Eventually, you might be able to add more veggies to your diet, but it IS difficult at first. I couldn't even add the spinach until I was up to a pretty high daily dose of a SFS.
Good luck!

I seem to do well with carrots and peas also. I am going to try spinach next as Casey seems to do well with that.
