Written By: Heather Van Vorous, author of "Eating for IBS"


An estimated 15-20% of all Americans have IBS, a physical disorder characterized by lower abdominal pain or discomfort, in association with diarrhea and/or constipation, and often gas, bloating, and nausea. There is no cure for Irritable Bowel Syndrome, but there are many very effective ways of controlling and even eliminating symptoms through diet. The key elements are: a high soluble fiber foundation to all meals and snacks, low fat, avoidance of trigger foods, and the careful incorporation of insoluble fiber. Eating safely for IBS does not mean deprivation, starvation, or boredom - it simply means learning what foods, and how they're eaten, can prevent or trigger symptoms.

There are two types of sufferers: those who are stressed and need to control their diets during these stressful times and secondly, those who have attacks due to both the type of food they consume and stress. Hence, their diets would have to be managed at all times.

Plum Sauce

This sauce is made from preserved Chinese plums, quality ginger, and chilies. This is an excellent dipping sauce for roast ducks or any roasted meat dishes.

















This recipe is a perfect example of a popular restaurant appetizer
- normally deep fried and far too high in fat for IBS - made digestion-friendly. Simply baking the toasts instead of frying them 
drastically lowers the fat content, but keeps their wonderful crunchy texture. The sweetness of the shrimp is complemented by the nuttiness of the sesame seeds, and tangy ginger plum sauce is a perfect accompaniment.








4-6 Servings

Toasts: 12 thin slices white sandwich bread, crusts removed

8 oz. raw tiger shrimp, shelled
1/3 Cup drained water chestnuts
1 organic egg white
1 Teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/2 Teaspoon salt
2 Stalks of green onions, minced
2 Teaspoon sherry
1-2 Tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Preheat oven to 250F. Cut each slice of bread into two or four
triangles (depending on size of slices). Spread on ungreased
baking sheet and bake 25 minutes, or until crisp.

While bread toasts, add all remaining ingredients except sesame
seeds to food processor or blender and puree until a medium-
smooth paste. Scrape mixture into a bowl and let rest 10 minutes.
Raise oven to 400F. Spread a generous amount of shrimp mixture
on toast triangles and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake for 10-12 minutes and serve hot or warm with sauce.

Ginger Plum Sauce:
2 Tablespoon Lee Kum Kee Plum Sauce
1 Tablespoon white vinegar
1/2 Teaspoon peeled grated fresh ginger root, including juice

Whisk all ingredients with a fork in a small bowl until well blended.
