Is cranberry Sause safe of IBS.
Does anyone know how much is too much fat for IBS.
And is there anything else high, in what ever that we need to watch out for in recipes beside the regular Triggers that I know of from heather's books.
And is there some were we can check a recipe for calories, fat, & calories from fat, protein & cholesterol per serving when a recipe does not have this. I'm not good at doing this by myself and since I cooking my daughter's meals I really would like to know how much she is getting per serving to make sure she's not getting too much fat in her meals. She has been having a bad time these past 2 weeks and I afraid I might be adding too much fat after I add all the ingredients, even thou I try to not put too much of fats, but maybe after it's all done it is too much. Can anyone help I know there are some great cooks out there I wish I was but I can only go by a recipe. Also some friends of mine gave me some ground turkey and when I cooked it, it looks a little gressy, and ground turkey have too much fat?????
thanks for y'all help, it's been great getting help from all of you.

Many cranberry sauces contain HFCS. You will have to check the label. I have not been able to find a cranberry sauce that does not contain HFCS. You may have better luck in your city.

The recommended amount of fat by Heather is the same as the FDA recommended daily fat intake which is about 25% of total calories. Personally, I don't eat any foods that contain more than 10% fat/oil by wieght.

The amount of fat and type of fat/oil in a food is usually given on the package label. Or you can use the FDA Food Database to look up the average amount of fat/oil in a food. If you prepare meals at home then you can use fact that 1 tsp oil weighs 5 grams and contains about 8 calories per gram.

Ground turkey contains about 8% fat by weight whereas turkey breast contains about 2% fat by weight.
