Oooo, shopping!
Get some soy milk. Don't get too much of one kind as everyone has a preference! Maybe get some choc soy milk as well, for a treat.
Stock up on fresh bread from the bakery. I usually get more rolls than I need and freeze some.
Get white pasta and white rice. These and the breads will be your staples.
Maybe find a recipe that you like the sound of and get the ingredients for that? (Anti-depressants brownies are loved by everyone I think!). But to try and stabilise properly, you should JUST eat soluble fibre foods for a few days. This includes root vegetables, avocadoes, mango and loads of other stuff as well as the bread, pasta and rice, so you won't starve!
I think you can get teas most places, but I'm the UK so it may be different for you. Finding a health store near you would be cool.
Peppermint is generally considered to be the best I think - for all aspects of IBS. But avoid this if you have a problem with acid reflux.
Ginger is for nausea. But, again, avoid this if you have a problem with acid reflux.
Chamomile is a great all-rounder and is also relaxing.
Fennel is for bloating (but some people don't like the licorice taste - you can mix it with others tho).
A lot of coffee places now do herbal teas. Starbucks does a "relaxing" tea with Chamomile in it that I love.
Good luck! Let us know how it goes! Linz
