Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | What to Eat When You Can't Eat Anything

I am very surprised by the list of items in the "What To Eat When You Can't Eat Anything" list in the book. You would think that it would stick to only insoluble fiber foods. Graham crackers have not only whole grain wheat flour in them but also high fructose corn syrup. Amongst the cold cereals, Corn Chex has whole grain corn, Kix has whole grain oats and corn and has high fructose corn syrup, Rice Chex has whole grain rice, the 2nd ingredient in Rice Krispies is glucose/fructose, Honeycomb has whole grain corn and oat flour, and Corn Pops' 3rd ingredient is high fructose corn syrup.

Now when I'm running to the toilet because everything is going right through me, these cereals with all these whole grains in them and high fructose corn syrup which is a known enemy of IBS, these so called "safe" suggestions make absolutely no sense to me.

Can someone please explain?

And does anyone know anything about whether Jello is safe?

Sincerely,

Rachelle
