After looking through my Sue Shepherd Low Fodmap Shopping book

I noticed that Magnum Ego's were on the list, but not their mini counterpart. I decided it must have been a mistake. They are only mini and therefor must be fine.
I ate 3 of them over the course of two weeks. It took me until number three to realise that after each, I had FODMAP symptoms. I had been blaming everything else but the ice cream until i had a very bland meal of chicken and veg and couldn't escape the truth.
I love ice-cream. I was so upset when Ice-cream sandwich's made me sick.
I should point out here that it was my obsession with Skinny Cow ice cream which pushed my system over the edge in the first place. It was the final straw for my body, smashing my intestines with Sorbitol every night until finally it broke.
.... For those of you not as yet aware, many companies are adding fibre to dairy products, Sorbitol (Skinny Cow) and Inulin (Vaalia) are the big ones to watch out for.
If you are worried about your fibre intake Psyllium Husk and Metamucil are better alternatives. You can add Psyllium to your breakfast cereal or smoothies. Don't forget Kiwi Fruit!
