Halloween Candies and IBS
Safe Treats, No Tricks!
Are there safe Halloween candies for IBS? Can I trick or treat?!
- Yes, there are tummy friendly trick or treat options!
- Candies will all be based on sugar, and sugar is not an IBS trigger. It's certainly not a health food, but plain old sucrose, the sugar used in plain old candies, is not a GI stimulant or irritant.
- Safe sweet treats for IBS do need a low fat, dairy-free foundation.
- Solid chocolate will be very high fat, so avoid that unless it is a very small quantity.
- Avoid caramels, which are traditionally dairy and always high fat.
- Stick to jelly, gummy, taffy, or hard candies, which are fat free.
- Think gum drops, jelly beans, hot tamales, lollipops, junior mints, gummy bears, tootsie rolls, red or black licorice, jujubes, etc.
- If you're not sure, read the ingredients.
- Make sure you eat a safe, low fat, trigger free, high soluble fiber foundation meal before you splurge on the Halloween treats, and make the splurge a little one.
- Remember that IBS should never be about food deprivation, but about moderation and substitution. A good IBS diet is not just healthy but delicious.
