I generally go for fruit for a snack--especially smoothies. I love applesauce.
My weakness is gummy bears and fuzzy peaches. I love swedish berries. (If it's sour, I love it!) I love hard candies, i.e. Jolly Ranchers. Licorice rules.
Hummus and bean dips are also a favourite. Home-made pita chips are a staple. Often my "snacks" turn into appetizers! I've been known to go for soups.
I used to do carrots until I turned orange and my doctor banned them.
I like liquid snacks, i.e. vanilla almond milk or a chai tea . I'm not big on cocoa or chocolate. Soy yogurt is great & portable, too.
I'm not a big baker, I confess.
Kate, IBS-D.

The absolute most filling snack for me is baby carrots. I eat them raw, with mustard for dipping.
I really have to concentrate on getting enough IF, so my snacks are mostly fruit. If I'm out and about and really need something, I get a Luna bar, which seems to hold me better than, say, pretzels.

If my stomach is really empty, I'll snack on pretzels or French bread. If I've recently eaten a safe meal but I'm craving something sweet, I will toast mini marshmallows on Keebler cinnamon graham crackers (like smores without the chocolate) or I'll make a chocolate cake for one (on the recipe index). I also like to have a big bowl of Rice Chex with soymilk each night between dinner and bedtime. Another thing I do is cook a little extra at dinner so I have a healthy, safe, filling snack later. It's really great to have a bowl of homemade food waiting for me when I'm starving between meals.

I buy white pitta bread, cut it into chips size pieces, place on cookie sheet, spray with a little bit of olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Preheat oven to 425 degrees and place pitta piece in oven until golden brown -- about 5 - 7 minutes. If you can tolerate IF then use brown pitta bread. These pitta chips are low fat and IBS friendly. Good luck

I use about 6-10 pita for each batch I make. I store the chips in a well sealed zip lock bag. I have no troubles keeping them for a week or more.
