I have IBS and I am more active than anyone I know. I run 40-50 miles a week and do hot yoga every other day. I also play tennis, and bike all the time. I notice I lose weight if I only eat like 3 or 4 meals a day.. eating smaller meals throughout the day seems to work better for me and gives me the energy I need. Def dont feel guilty about it, but I know exactly what u mean. Im sure Heather and everyone else eats more than that anyways, its just a basic guide.

What about soups and frozen dinners for lunch? I, too, rely on leftovers for lunches, but when I don't have any, I often have a can of Amy's soup, or one of their frozen entrees. My favorite soup is the Lentil Vegetable and my favorite frozen entree is the black bean and vegetable enchilada meal.

Lentils are the easiest beans to digest, so might be a good place to start. But my point was, there are lots of soups and frozen entrees you can buy that are safe. Check the "healthy" ones like Lean Cuisine or Healthy Choice. I eat Amy's because I'm vegetarian. Hope you can find something!

Not sure what you mean... You could just do a board search. I just seem to recall others also commenting that they are one of the easiest beans to digest. But if you are still cautious, you could try this recipe that I posted awhile back, in which they are both cooked and blended. I'm pretty sure there are other lentil recipes on the Recipe Index as well.

They come in bulk bins at the HFS, or in bags with the dried beans in the grocery. They look like little split peas, and they come in several colors. My favorite are the red ones, because they cook up quicker and get nice and mushy! There are also green, brown, yellow, and I believe white.

This is my favorite lentil recipe - I can't eat tomatoes or spicy food anymore with the IC, but it's super yummy served over basmati rice!
