Might be time to try some new foods!! I would be bored too.

Here's what I eat - any one on any given day to give you an idea what you may like to try. Lots of the recipes are from Heather.

Breakfast: banana or zucchini bread, blueberry muffins, almond biscotti, arrowroot cookies, rice chex or rie crispies with soy or almond milk, Heather's rice pudding (except I don't use bananas, I use raisins), toasted sour dough bread with peanut butter, english muffins.

Morning snack: strawberries, a plum (peeled), any of the above breads or muffins, dry fruit loops (yes, I know, not the best choice, but they don't bother me), pretzels, applesauce, canned peaches

Lunch: toasted bagel or sour dough bread with roasted turkey and mustard and a slice of tomato or cucumber, Lipton's chicken noodle soup and soda crackers, peanut butter and strawberry jam on sour dough (I suck at making lunches! I dislike it thoroughly!)

Snacks: same as above, but never 2 fruits on the same day, and the occasional mini york peppermint patty - mmmmm, banana

Dinner: grilled or baked chicken breast done with homemade "shake n bake" or teriaki or sesame ginger marinade (Knorr marinades), potato - baked or homemade mashed, white rice, assorted pastas with fresh garlic and a little soy margarine, spaghetti with homemade sauce with ground turkey, turkey or chicken burgers (homemade again), baked fries, stir-fried veggies and rice noodles - carrots, peas, chinese cabbage, bean sprouts, mushrooms, onions; salmon, shrimp, snow crab

Evening snack: orange sherbert - dairy free with arrowroot cookies, fat free cool whip with arrowroot cookies, graham crackers, fat free pringles, and yes, popcorn.

Now, I've had ibs for 17 years. I consider myself relatively stable. I don't recommend you jump in and eat all kinds of things at once. But Diane your diet lacks variety and that must be hard. Try something you liked before your ibs - safe food of course - and hopefully you will be able to tolerate it.

I should mention I do all my own cooking and baking. There is little to no process or pre-packaged food in my house, including bread, muffins, etc. with the exception of arrowroot cookies and graham crackers. I find controlling what is in my food also helps me out a lot.

Hope you can finish your big event and de-stress soon!!

Good luck!!!
