Just a few that were on the SF list under the soluble fiber vs. insoluble fiber page:
Potatoes Carrots Yams Sweet potatoes Turnips Rutabagas Parsnips Beets Squash and pumpkins Mushrooms Chestnuts Avocados (though they do have some fat) Bananas Applesauce Mangoes Papayas (also digestive aids that relieve gas and indigestion)
-------------------- IBS-C, Gas, Bloating, HURTING!
I'm married and it's so wonderful!

on the boards I will list the most tolerated veggies: all root veggies (potatoes, sweets, carrots, beets, rutabagas, parsnips, etc) squash with seeds and skins removed (winter and summer, cooked) artichoke hearts greens like baby bok choy or spinach cooked peas and beans cooked cooked aspargus (for most)
harder to digest: corn bell peppers onions (leeks are easier IMO) coarser greens like kale and chard tomatoes (acidy) broccoli, cauliflower, brussels, cabbage (I eat broc every week though) raw veggies Jerusalem artichokes are a root veg but full of inulin which causes gas in many (don't tell my farmers' market customers I sell them to )
For raw salad greens, mixed baby greens or light leafy lettuces or even baby spinach are way easier than romaine or especially iceberg. IBSers shouldn't do iceberg.
Hope this helps. I eat any vegetable I want but for some that requires caution. It is better to eat veggies requiring caution than to cheat on bad for you foods!
-------------------- IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!

Great Post, LM! I agree with the last statement, totally! High fat foods definitely top the cake for IBS and flare ups from high fat lasts alot longer than flareups from veggies, IMO!
