Thanks again for your advice.

You don't have any ideas for meals i could make that wouldn't make me so full but provide enough calories?
I struggle with the fullness so much as like you say, my stomach is probably smaller due to the anorexia and i get so full. I feel like i can't eat often as I'm so full therefore i seem to be having 3 meals a day.
I feel that maybe if i eat 5 or 6 times a day then it may help but i just can't seem to face it as i get so full from the soluble fiber base.

Some meal plan or further guidence would be of use.
Thanks again.

Hi, thanks ....
I would think the calories in the book's meals I mentioned in my previous post would suffice, but dividing the larger lunches and dinners and not the smaller snacks or breakfasts to make not so filling at a time and with the DIVIDED soluble fiber before each. White rice provides alot of calories and doesn't stuff me up;It doesn't have much fiber..notice the rice box label fiber content. Drink an alternative milk drink with some protein in it already and 20-25% fat content instead of some of your water. The recipe book has plenty of drink ideas for extra calories too. With my night time fiber I've taken a T of brown rice syrup (which is easier on insulin) with my probio.

Still wondering if you have been prescribed medication for ibs like an anti-spasmotic or something else?? Sometimes you have to search reviews on meds and how they've helped people with your form of ibs, also their side effects that can help and request them from your doctor.

One of my days food blogs, otherwise too much too type..Everyone's different though, but here goes...

Soluble fiber right before each:

1C Crispex (rice/cornmeal) cereal with protein included flax milk 1/2 sm banana or also 1/4C papaya with that banana

white wheat or spelt bread with a smidgen of peanut butter

1 1/2C white basmati rice with lemon juice with canned chicken/turkey breast or maybe fish (drained canned salmon), 1/4C melon or other fruit, 2 heaping teaspoons per ea container of smooth green beans and smooth squash (easier than self- pureeing) with salt and flax or hemp oil and if room a sm cookie.

1/2C canned no peel potatoes with very low to nonfat mayo and sm amt chives

1 1/2C white jasmine rice with soy sauce, one of the above proteins, nori salad at end of meal with (peeled/de-seeded cucumber and 4 shreds of carrot, little chives, lemon jc and flax oil), a sm cookie and 4oz pomegranite/blueberry juice. Dinner is usually a lighter meal because it's later in the day.

I don't feel too full like this even with upper gi track problems.
You don't have to use as much rice if too filling. Chew everything well to help move through better.

I utilize Heather's meal plans examples as an ideas spring board;You'll figure your own tweeks.
