Sickly :/

What can I eat that won’t make me feel unwell?

It depends on your diet and what you have been eating as some foods can affect some and not others. For instance my daughter, who doesn't have IBS, found that Lactose made her physically sick and she had diarrhoea so the best route for you I would say is elimination.

I have slowly but surely been eliminating foods from my diet, I am eating a lot less fruit and certain veg, a shame as I love fruit and veg.

Hope you feel better soon.

Thank you. Yes, it can be complicated. I tend to have low blood pressure and I’m a small person. I need to eat decent but it’s hard when I’m not feeling well a lot. For low blood pressure I’m told to eat salty foods. I just ate some protein and salty food for breakfast to help cause I’m really feeling off today and lightheaded. I don’t think it’s just related to IBS. I may see my doctor today and probably need referral to specialist. Idk how to go about elimination and have a decent amount to eat still.

It certainly can be complicated and more difficult when you are only small as well. Sounds like the low blood pressure is contributing to how you are feeling. Were you diagnosed with IBS? I agree in that you need to see your doctor as some blood tests really need to be carried out.

Elimination isn't easy but I have chosen to go down the cutting out certain food groups one at a time whereas a lot of people on here follow the low FODMAP diet. I have already cut out Lactose and found that isn't a problem, the next food group for me is wheat as I'm sure that is contributing to the amount of wind and pain I get.

Hope you get on okay at the doctors and get some answers.

Take care
