For quick lunches I like a microwaved sweet potato or Healthy Choice soup. For quick dinners I get recipes from Cooking Light magazine. They always have some made in 30 minutes or less. Here is one I like.
--------------------
IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!

Hi, Caprice and welcome to the board!
I'm IBS-D but I've been stable for a whole year (NO D). I do get nauseous because of my migraines and when I'm queasy I usually stick with cereal or plain bagels. Oatmeal is my rescue meal when nothing else sounds good. Also Rice Krispies. Plain white rice with a little poached chicken in it is pretty easy to get down. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches also usually work for me.
Do you take anything for the nausea? Ginger tea, ginger ale, Pepto-Bismol, Dramamine II all help me. Bio-bands that press on the accupressure point also help.
I can totally sympathize. Nothing sounds good when you're a little queasy.
Feel better and keep coming back, okay?!

Oatmeal is my safe staple, and when I have C I add cut up prunes and that often does the trick. Also I love microwaved sweet potatoes. Veggie burgers cooked in a pan on the stove are so quick and easy so I eat them all the time. Crackers with reduced fat natural peanut butter or natural, sugar free preserves are what I always eat when I feel queasy.

Thank you for asking the question, and for posting answers! I am with caprice...often C and naseous, too. My problem is that while I may feel "off," I often feel hungry. (Not sure if I'm really hungry or if I just think I want to eat.) At any rate, the ideas for simple foods are great. Thanks!

Noodles with smart balance butter and soy paremsan. Sometimes I throw on a few cooked veggies. I also love sweet potatoes microwaved with brown sugar and smart balance butter. Turkey burgers out of the freezer with safe oven fries, tuna fish with lemon ,pepper, or fat free mayo on fresh bread.

I like spaghetti with tomato sauce. I cook 1/2 regular, 1/2 whole wheat spaghetti. That way I figure I get both SF and IF. I like soybutter and jelly sandwiches for a real quick lunch. Only a thin smear since fats an issue. I use polaner seedless raspberry. I munch on raw carrots too.

Rice noodles with flavoring (the brand name escapes me) with some veggies thrown in. I tolerate cooked carrots, mushrooms, and green beans well.
If I'm feeling really icky, I go for white rice, either plain or with some Smart Balance Lite.
