Hi Heather and everyone,
I've been following a fairly IBS-friendly diet for the past few months, but the trouble is I'm tending to lose too much weight and am not sure how to gain some of it back.
My main foodstuffs are: chicken, turnkey, fish (cod, salmon, plaice, haddock, tuna etc.), pasta, potatoes (sautéd, jacket, boiled etc.), carrots, rice milk, rice crispies, bread/toast, herbal tea, crisps (chips in the US), honey on the toast, ginger biscuits, oven fries, stewed apple (every dinner), banana (every lunchtime), my one evil snack is a jam doughnut with my cup of tea.
I've generally been feeling a lot better, but it bothers me and my wife that I've been losing weight and am really struggling to put it back on. I do pressups twice a day to at least help with muscle tone, but it doesn't really help with weight gain. Any help would very much appreciated. Basically, what can I add to my diet which won't start IBS flare ups again. Incidentally, I'm also taking Mebeverine which helps with the IBS a bit.
Before eating for IBS I ate beef burgers, lots of green veg, fruit pies, meat pies, sweets (candies), maccaroni cheese, and goodness knows what else. Now I've pretty much developed a food fear with these types of foodstuffs.
As I said, any ideas would be great,
Tobe
P.S. I've had medical checks including blood and stool samples and I'm fine apart from the two doctors I've seen confirming that I almost certainly have IBS.
