Generally, I eat bland, boring, beige food during a flare, as I can't stomach much else. I also have soup with dry toast, or scrambled eggs, if I am pushed.

I can’t stomach much during a flare but find I stick to toast, currant buns, crackers or digestive biscuits.

Yes bland foods seem to help but are oh so boring. But needs must. Thank you.

Hi Bartz,

I'm IBS-C and I usually make sure I'm totally cutting out all the things I should be avoiding; wheat, caffeine, alcohol, very spicy or fatty foods.

I often start craving healthy things so I'll try to get some salads & cook fresh things - fresh fish etc. I've been enjoying mashed potato with wholegrain mustard mixed through recently! And the seasonal strawberries.

In the past, I've used nutrient supplements like Complan when I've been worried about losing too much weight.

Hope that helps, take care!
