Hi my name is Tahirah and I have been suffering with IBS for a while. Finally I had my first app with a dietician it was to be expected that she didn't say much gathering how much I've helped myself. But anyways I struggle with what to eat for main meals I struggle now to eat my mum's homemade asian food. I brought Arla yoghurt and granola to eat I will try that on one of the days for breakfast. I have been eating salads which help however I'm the type that can eat food like that as a meal. You know how some people eat salmon but they also eat salmon with other things etc it makes me confused and stresses me a little hence the depression/anxiety I have does play it's part. I am a Muslim so but I'm sure your recipe ideas shouldn't affect me from eating it :) please do help. Many thanks :)

This is a great link to try Tahirah :)

I've suffered for over 20 years and my biggest food problem is Asian Food lol

Its just trial and error I'm afraid

Thanks Shaun yes I had a look on the nhs. Yes it is definitely trial and error lol. Yes I do miss eating mum's food but I definitely have noticed the change from eating more healthier now I prefer eating healthy now.

Oh I loved asian food but cant eat it at all now. To say I have a bland diet is an understatement. This is a difficult one for you but disappointed to hear the dietician hasnt helped you more. Ask dietician to give you a list of foods you can eat! Sorry it isnt more helpful.

I know my next 2nd appointment is on the 13th June and I made a list on my phone what exactly are my concerns are. She gave me a little leaflet explains food groups and I knew already what to eat etc I think it's hard because it's trial and error. Felt her answers were broad I asked what kind of yoghurts are good she said any are fine, but I will make sure I get specific answers next time. When I eat something I thought ok it seems fine then another time it caught me off guard so it's all that confusion. Feeling a little run over due to the depression.

Hi DIpsy14 try cooking your own Asian food but excluding onion and garlic. Garlic can be replaced by oil flavoured with garlic.

Cant even have the infused oil with garlic but I have found ginger is a good substitute.

Tah1: I don't have Celiac (was tested for it0, but I had chronic diarrhea for years and years. Going the same as you...5-10 times a day sometimes. It was awful. Anyway, I finally found a doctor who help me out! He's put me on a drug called "Welchol," and it has helped immensely! I no longer have diarrhea daily and my "movements" are totally back to normal! I was amazed at how quickly it cleared up. Now...maybe once every other month or so, I still have a "bout," but I can handle that. If you get a prescription, do not take more than 3 pills twice a day..that's the max...that's what I am on.

You're to take it before meals.
