IBS-C.
Breakfast- Sour Dough Toast with strawberry jelly, scrambled egg beaters with soy cheese, fruit salad of mangos and grapes
Lunch- PB sandwich on sour dough bread, baked tostitos and peeled apple or oatmeal and fruit salad
Dinner- Grilled or baked chicken or fish, pasta with veggies, small piece of fruit
Snacks- pretzels, graham crackers or baked bread
I drink teas all day long.
I am also relieved to hear that it took many of your a year to stabalize. I have been on the diet for four months and am doing better, but still have flare-ups- which are frustrating. It is good to know that as long as keep doing what I am doing, I will eventually feel a lot better for longer periods of time.

Breakfast - Quaker instant Maple & Brown sugar package (mixed with boiling water) - I still eat this pretty much every single morning. It really stabilizes me in the morning better than ANYTHING else.
Lunch - Gardenburger Flame Grilled soy burger on white bun with TINY sprinkle of Kraft fat free shredded cheddar cheese (not technically IBS-safe, but it doesn't give me any trouble as long as I don't overdo it... just enough to kill the beany taste of a fake burger). A handful of baked tostitos.
Dinner - Rice, pasta, potatoes, or French bread always. Meat would be chicken (teriyaki, BBQ, plain, or with a little garlic seasoning), tilapia, or tofu (LOVE LOVE LOVE it with Amy's Family Marinara and spaghetti noodles!!). Side item would usually be green beans or sauteed veggies (carrots, zucchini, and maybe broccoli). Stir-fry is also GREAT with rice, as is homemade veggie soup with French bread.
Snacks/Desserts - pretzel sticks, graham crackers, hunk of French bread, leftovers (try to cook extra at dinner so you have healthy food when you're hungry between meals), "s'mores" (graham crackers with Kraft mini marshmallows toasted on top in the toaster oven or oven), small piece of safe cake or brownie (only after safe meal), candy canes, pita bread
Things I've started eating more recently:
- Rice Chex with Soy Dream Classic Vanilla soy milk (makes me a little gassy, but not enough to make me stop drinking it at night... about to have some in a minute!)
- Chocolate Cake for One (recipe in index - HEAVENLY!!)
- egg white omelet with toast (again, makes me a little gassy, but sometimes I'm just craving eggs)
- chicken quesadilla (this has become my new favorite lunch. recipe is posted here somewhere)
- tofu noodle stir-fry with angel-hair pasta and small diced veggies and tamari sauce. Super easy and delicious! Need to post that recipe soon...
That's all I can think of right now. Most of the meals I listed are discussed in more detail in other posts. Let me know if you need help finding one, and I'll dig it up.
Hope that helps!

Can any of you do salads with out feeling gassy? What have you seen as most helpful?If I have enough fiber I go but then am bloated like a baloon so gassy like insane then when I reduce even a little I'm constipated. I know its different for everyone thats what is frustrating but glad to see so many have good results. Take care

Dinner: Tonight we're having "rigatoni casserole" which is rigatoni pasta, chunky vegetable tomato sauce, TVP, and a little nutritional yeast and bread crumbs.

Yikes - it seems a lot, but I have always been on the underweight side, and seem to have a fast metabolism! I found that when I cut out a lot of the fat I was eating, the weight began to drop off, so I eat lots of safe carbs. I am IBS-C, pain predominant, and so need lots of SF to buffer any IF, which always seems to cause pain. Salads are off the menu at the moment. I have been following the EFI diet for 5 months now and seen a lot of improvements, but probably need longer before I can call myself stable.

You sure eat quite a lot of SF for a Cer!!! Doesn't that much SF just make your C worse? I have to eat IF with EVERY meal, and sometimes with my snacks.

I can do a little salad at the end of dinner, or a lunch salad under certain conditions (feeling stable, haven't had one lately, go for lots of interesting vegetables rather than just a big hunk of iceberg lettuce, and have some SF). They don't make me gassy...unless you're talking about trapped gas and cramping. That's usually a signal that I need to drink more liquids (particularly peppermint tea) and use more Beano and make sure I'm getting SF at every meal.
Oh yeah, and I go for safer things when I'm under stress because I'm way more tolerant of IF and fats when I'm relaxed. Hypno helps with this, of course.

I'm JUST starting out and and really sick and trying to just start incorporating IF as I was trying to do the SF only for a few days. How so does one start adding IF in? After a week? I don't want to be C, I'm not at all stable, and I'm scared IF will make me bloat and cramp. I have no idea what foods are safe for me, or how much IF to start out with. I'm just starting out....<shrug>? I have some beans at home that I'm terrified to eat.
