When I was stable, I made the best smoothies and they seemed to help me go.
1 container of Stoneyfield Farm yogurt 6 oz skim milk 1 scoop protein powder 1T ground flax 1T psyllium 1c froz fruit (strawberry, blueberry, mango) 1t peanut butter (optional)
I'm trying to avoid dairy, now, so I haven't had this in a while. I'm sure it could be modified, but I don't want to go out and buy all the stuff just yet. :0)

How long does it take you to "go" after drinking the smoothie?

I usually have a BM anywhere from an hour to 6 hours after drinking the smoothie. It has also taken until the next day a couple times. I've only been drinking these for a couple weeks, so I don't have a definite pattern just yet. I just know that I am having BMs and that is wonderful!!

I make them the night before and just keep it in the fridge in a thermos type bottle. Then I just grab the bottle in the morning on my way out and start drinking it around 9am. It seems to work ok. They aren't as good as if you drink them right after making them, but it's not bad either....

Beth, If you take a frozen one to work, it will defrost within three hours, at which point you could drink it. -Bob

My smoothies are exclusively composed of fruit which varies depending on my mood, availability, the season, and obviously how my IBS is that particular day. I blend/puree it in the food processor. This is my breakfast if I decide to consume breakfast. I generally combine high IF fruits with SF fruits, i.e. strawberry/papaya or blueberry/banana or raspberry/mango. Often the berries I use are frozen. If I add liquid it is generally fresh lemon or lime juice, or water. However, I don't always mix/combine fruits. Sometimes I will have one fruit exclusively.
Kate, IBS-D.
