Hi Jenz
For when I'm too tired/rushed off my feet to want to cook, I fall back on vege substitutes like Quorn products. That way I can stick sausages or a quorn fillet under the grill, whack a potato in the microwave and, voila!, food! Try getting some canned carrots so you can get their healthy, soluble fibre without having the preparation to do.
Also, I make rolls for work with canned tuna, a little low-fat mayo and sliced avocado. Lovely and chocka with soluble fibre.
Also, have you tried snacking on crackers, baked crisps, etc? Carrying some of these round in my handbag stops me reaching for the crisps and chocolate.
Hope this helps... and welcome back!

I love Quorn too but it is hard to find here and new to USA stores. I finally found it a few months ago but have only seen a couple varieties. When I visit UK I eat Quorn until it's coming out of my ears it is the best (that and Linda McCartney sausages and sausage rolls!!!!)

try soymeat balls, there really yummy and you just stick them in the oven and heat! I try to keep a bag of that precooked chicken on hand to toss into pasta or stir-frys. Take some flat or pita bread and make pizzas with sauce, rice cheese and chicken. Cold tuna salad is great for luches, I make a BIG bowl and snack all week, just boil your favorite noodles, rinse and cool add tuna and frozen peas and a little non fat mayo.

.. to hear you're struggling at the moment.
I know it's hard with the food issue and I know myself I sometimes get so sick and tired of having to be organised in advance and wary of foods all the time.
The best thing I have found to do is to cook in bulk and plan right ahead.
I keep my freezer full of things that I can defrost to eat when I'm too tired to cook so that I won't be tempted to eat things that aren't safe. Some of the things I keep in the freezer are:
soups (easily reheated and add some bread)
pasta sauces (then you just have to cook the pasta)
homemade turkey burger patties
sloppy joes
risotto
lots of Heather's breads individually wrapped or safe muffins
Also, Nachos are quick, easy and easily adapted to suit IBS.
Egg white Omlettes are also quick and sometimes I'll just have a toasted sandwhich with turkey and avocado or something.
Hope some of this helps and you're feeling better soon.
Kerrie
