Mostly pre-cooked pre-packaged. I just bought a rice cooker and that will be delivered soon, and I have organic frozen chicken breasts, but I hate cooking so I try to make it as easy as possible, so I get a lot of cold foods. Tortilla w/ tbsp of peanut butter or sliced deli meat, cereal with soy/rice/hemp milk, fresh baked bread (french, sourdough, ciabatta), baked lays and baked kettle chips. I get sushi a lot and when I eat out I order fish since I'm no good at cooking it. Canned tuna (in water) always seems to correlate to bad days, not sure if there is a relation tho, there shouldn't be. I enjoy little chocolate animal/graham crackers (Newman's own, Stouffers), although paridoxically the Stoufers with HFCS and all kinds of additives doesn't seem to effect me but the Whole Foods/Trader Joes kinds with evaporated cane juice and no additives seem to make me feel worse. I drink about a half a small bottle of Amazake every day, different flavors, and it seems ok, rice, high fiber, no clear triggers. I snack on pretzels at work.
My diet has been heavily restricted by IBS. I have Heather's cookbook, and I know it doesn't have to, but there seems to be two styles. Heather's style is a lot more footloose and fancy free than some of the people on this board, but it seems every time I try to branch out into different types of IF and other things I feel like crap. I even sometimes feel bad when just sticking to emergency SF diet. I have lost 25lbs not because I'm ill, but because the only time I feel good is when I'm not eating, like, fasting with nothing in my system.
I tell myself it could be worse, but since I'm still relatively new to IBS (End of Feb, early March is when it started) I still have memories of what feeling "normal" feels like and it just pisses me off that just like that, *snap* my body can somehow be different, not some organic gradual change over weeks and months, but one day I can eat anything, the next, catastrophe.
