Hi Heather! I made your applesauce chocolate bread with Fry's cocoa powder and I was wondering if there was a different powder I should use? I try to follow your books to a 't' so I don't get sick anymore. Please let me know if I should switch.

Hi - I've never heard of Fry's but any unsweetened cocoa powder should work. I've tried a couple different ones, and I do think Hershey's tastes the best - it's chocolatier.

Thanks for the info Heather. I wasn't able to find the Hershey's at any of our local grocery stores, or citrucel, or the fibercon. I did luck out in visiting a health store and found a cocoa powder that is unsweetened and no added dairy products.I guess because I live in a little town on Vancouver Island, Canada. The only fibre product that I could find was Metimucal (and that caused me severe pain) and Prodium. What else could I use? I suffer from cronic d.

Hi, I also have IBS-D. Can you get equalatin in your area? It is really helping me. I couldn't find it any where for a long time now I find it at 2 drugstores in our town! I've found CAROB POWDER (no chocolate, cocoa or caffeine) helps when the D is really bad, I make a carob & soymilk warm drink and sip it is soothing to me. But it is Heather's eating for IBS book and equalatin that helps the most. Paintlady

I'm also in Canada and the only way to get those other fibre supplements is to order them from the U.S. Bummer I know. Hershey's you can usually find (I'm in Regina) so I'm not sure what the trouble is there. I've been using the carob powder. Didn't realize it would help with the D. I've have several bad attacks lately. I should give it a try.

Hi, Carob powder is a help but soluble fiber works the best. Carob with soymilk just another helper to me somewhat like mint tea as soothing and I feel like I'm having special treat like I could have before IBS-D came into my life. But they say on my box of carob that it helps stomach problems. Don't think it helps IBS-C though. Paintlady
