Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

You can try some of the breads from Heather's Eating for IBS book. I love the Pumpkin Apple Spice bread and like the Cinnamon Zucchini Bread sometimes, also. They're a little higher in fat than most of what we eat on the IBS diet, but I've found them safe. Plus, they're delicious and they get some fruits/veggies into me. Also, they freeze well - I freeze half-loaves and pull them out when I want them. I also make the Simple Sweet Cornbread very often - I don't think it's as calorie-rich as the others. And I like the Gingerbread, too. I haven't tried freezing either of the last two.

There are also the desserts in the Eating for IBS book. The one I really like is the chocolate silk pudding - it's fabulous. I don't think I can make the fruits and vegetables argument for that one, though - it's pure indulgence.

I haven't really gotten into them, yet, but there are bread and dessert recipes on the Recipe Board. You could see if any of them appeal to you. You mention eating fruit pies before starting Heather's diet, so you might check out the Norwegian Apple Pan Pie recipe I posted. (Shameless plug

)

Last, but not least, you could look for dinner recipes on the Recipe Board that seem to be higher in calories. There are some stroganoff and paprikash recipes that call for soy sour cream. If you're sensitive to fat, these might be a problem, but I tolerate them well - I eat lots of noodles or rice as a base. Or, one of the spaghetti recipes might add a few more calories.

HTH. Good luck.
