Hi my name is Tahirah and I need all your lovely recipe ideas. I'm experiencing IBS so I am eating healthy however I am unable to eat my mum's homemade food due to the spices etc. So please can you tell me lunch/dinner menu tips that I can eat. I am aware of what types of food to eat but I struggle with making on the spot etc I need to have everything already planned. Bit poorly since yesterday got my secondition appointment with my dietician in 3 weeks she didn't say much except my aim for now was to eat 3 times a day with a snack I between. I'm not a great cook either just something simple and light I need to eat. Many thanks

Hi Tahirah,

One of the things about IBS is it's a very general syndrome, so affects people differently.

However the FODMAP diet is often used by doctors and this may be what your dietitian suggests.

For example see monashfodmap.com/i-have-ibs...

You might also consider that it's something other than the spices that is causing a problem. I discovered that when I cut down on the amount of oils and fats I had no problem with the spices

Try grainfree esp wheatfree for a few days. Also get calprotectin assay of your done. It'll help you a lot.

Calprotectin is a protein released by a type of white blood cell called a neutrophil. When there is inflammation in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, neutrophils move to the area and release calprotectin, resulting in an increased level in the stool. This test measures the level of calprotectin in stool as a way to detect inflammation in the intestines.

Intestinal inflammation is associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)...
