Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | SAMPLES OF MY MENU (lots of them)

Breakfast idea 1
Oatmeal (I add honey, cinnamon & nutmeg)
1 cup of hot water/tea

Breakfast idea 2
Wheaties cereal with raisins or blueberries
Soy milk

Breakfst idea 3
Oatmeal (I add fresh blueberries, raspberries and honey-BEST EVER!)
1 cup of hot water/tea

Snack idea 1
8oz soy yogurt (the best brand is "Whole Soy")
1 regular size apple with skins; I dip the apple into soy yogurt (Mixing IFiber with SFiber)

Snack idea 2
English muffin with Tofutti better than cream cheese spread (tip-it does taste like cream cheese, I can't tell any difference)
1 cup of water/tea-to help it move along

Snack idea 3
Fresh carrots and white mushrooms with mayo dip (mayo, lemon juice, herbs (basil or dill) and pepper)

Snack idea 4
Handful of nuts or sunflower seeds; eat after meal

Lunch/dinner idea 1
Tuna sandwich (tuna, mayo, herbs, pepper, lemon and pieces of fragrant cucumber)

Lunch/dinner idea 2
Homemade soups are the best!
Soup 1(water, chicken, celery, carrot, potato, green beans)
Soup 2 (water, rice, mashed turkey meatballs (Homestyle turkey meatballs from Safeway, frozen section, ready to eat and IBS safe) Mash meatballs and throw into water when rice is ready. Very quick and delicious.

Lunch/dinner idea 3
Rice/potato, chicken, steamed carrots or other veggies that you can tolerate

Lunch/dinner idea 4
Spinach salad (If stable)-tomato, cucumber, apple, lemon, chicken, avocado, mushroom. Peeling skins helps if they bother you.

Lunch/dinner idea 5
Grilled/baked salmon with lemon and herbs, cuscus or rice, veggies

Lunch/dinner idea 6-going out to Mexican if very stable
I eat few chips, order Chicken enchiladas without cheese or sour cream

Lunch/dinner idea 7-going out to Wendy's
Pretty safe choice: turkey chibatta. Order without cheese and honey mustard instead of mayo. (Their mayo might have milk in it) I love it and never get sick! If you are IBS-C, it might be constipating because of all the bread, so take some fiber afterwards

Lunch/dinner idea 8-going out to Chinese
Chicken/shrimp kung-pao. Ask for non-spicy but since they cook it in spicy sauce, ask to cook it in chicken broth. That way it's very low in fat and not spicy but still very delicious. If you don't like celery, ask for carrots instead. 

Lunch/dinner idea 9
Spaghetti and meatballs: angel hair pasta, homestyle turkey meatballs, ready to eat at Safeway, organic tomato and basil sauce or eat without sauce, but add butter substitute instead. My favorite one is: Lactose free smart balance. Healthy and tastes just like butter.

Desert idea 1-MY FAVORITE!
Lady fingers cookies, cool whip and berry smoothie "Bolthouse farms" brand. I make layers of cookies, smoothie on top then cool whip (it's lactose free). Make several layers and can eat right away. But it's best if it sits for a while. Eats like tiramisu cake. Yum!

Desert idea 2
Mintz's Blintzes Pre-baked dairy free cheese filled crepes, from Trader Joes.

Desert/Snack idea 3
Super stuffed baked apple, recipe here from my post: http://www.helpforibs.com/messageboards/ubbthreads/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Board=recipe&Number=321778&Forum=All_Forums&Words=11410&Match=Username&Searchpage=0&Limit=25&Old=allposts&Main=321778&Search=true#Post321778

Desert idea 4
Store bought soy ice-cream or sorbet. If you're going out and craving sorbet, "Cold Stone" sells sorbets. They can mix it with any candy or nuts for you. Enjoy!

Desert idea 5
Fresh fruit salad with whip cream. Basically, fruits that you can tolerate. Seeds can cause bloating and gas. So you can use peeled apples and pears, watermelon, melon, mango. (Fruits that give me most trouble are: cherries, raspberries, kiwi�)

Desert idea 6
Chocolate smoothie: cocoa, soy milk, chocolate soy ice-cream;
Mango/melon/pear smoothie: frozen fruit pieces, vanilla soy ice-cream, soy milk

ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!
