Thank you.  I guess Archway is out of business and no other brand compares.  We will give the coconut a try.

Actually you can still get Archway coconut macaroons.  My mother has been dealing with diverticulitis for the past 10 days, terrible pain, etc.  Last night I started her on the cookies although she did not want anything.  She ate them and for the first time in 10 days I didnot get a middle of the night phone call with her crying (literally) about how bad she was hurting.  Today she is doing even better.  Was out of bed (gasp!) and walking around a bit. Grant it, she is 78 and doesn't do much, but due to the diverticulitis she wasnt doing anything at all.  I really think the cookies are helping.

Thank you-Where can I find them?

It's not the macaroons!--your body is not suffering from a macaroon deficiency--it's the coconut.  In my own experience, IBS is really lessened if candida, which proliferates when good bacteria are eliminated from the GI tract by antibiotics and other environmental insults, is eliminated.  Coconut oil (organic please), as it turns out, is one of the best antifungals that does not also kill your good bacteria.  One tablespoon a day for several weeks does it, but be prepared for the die-off symptoms which feel somewhat like the flu Also, I've found out that soy is extremely irritating to my gut.  Once I eliminated soy and candida, I stopped experiencing IBS.  It would be great if doctors actually knew anything at all about this condition. 

I disagree.  The gut is seriously compromised by candida, and its symptoms are the same whether it's IBS or IBD--bloating, constipation, diarrhea, pain in the hips etc.  Once the gut is impaired, it is always much more susceptible to candida, which has, oddly enough, the same symptoms as IBD.  Most mds don't even recognize candida as a problem; they'd rather give you drugs that, in turn, cause other serious problems. And what? Macaroons help IBD (who knows why)  but it's the coconut that deals with IBS and candida??  C'mon...
