Re: not coping

I don't follow recipes much @outlander I cook what I can eat in a variety of ways and combinations - avoiding those things I know are not good for me (most of the time). The good thing is I would prefer a bowl of steamed veggies or a salad rather than most things so it hasn't been a massive adjustment for me. I don't eat bread - never really have - and rarely have dairy. I don't have a sweet tooth either - much prefer savoury things so that has not been an issue either.

I'm sure if you search recipes for IBS you will find something 👍

Re: not coping

It is hard @outlander especially when I just want to curl up and be invisible.

D seems to be enjoying work. She likes going and of course likes the money! It is good for her. I just don't like the early morning starts or late nights!!

Hopefully you can have some time to yourself then hon.

Re: not coping

thank you @Zoe7 ive gone through alot of the fodmap stuff and trying to elimiate as much as possible off the red section.

i have a really bad sweet tooth lol so its not working out to well! i already elimated anything with dairy, wheat, peanuts and also all shellfish type things due to allergies so its a start at least.

Re: not coping

It may seem pretty overwhelming at the moment @outlander but it does get easier - and you begin to adjust pretty quickly with just the things you can eat. It is a whole-life change in a lot of ways but like anything you get used to it 👍
