There is B12 in soy milk, at least in this country. They also add it to other fortified foods so it is not a problem. I repeat, even vegans rarely have a problem with B12. It is funny when people think the IBS diet will give them less nutrients or somehow be less healthy when, in fact, it is one of the healthiest eating plans. Most people eat crap diets with mac n cheese, french fries, chicken strips, pizza, hamburger helper, etc. Those are the people that are pasty grey from lack of nutrients. My husband worked with someone who just died of a heart attack in his 40s because all he ate was fried bar food (he owned a bar) day in and day out.
You don't need a vitamin supplement if you can get to a point of eating a varied diet rich in whole foods and veg.
--------------------
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!

Re: elimination of certain foods- not missing out on nutrients?
