I realized we go through a 10 pound bag of poatoes every week! thats crazy and has to stop. I am not against eating chiken or turkey I jut want differant options differant recipes. More pasta (and differant) Yes I have serached the board almost once a week and I can't do garlic and onions and soy. I miss food. Period. I don't know whats worse the mental part of it or being sick... Here are somethings I can eat if any of you have any ideas or recipes. PLEASE feel free to pass them along. Chicken, rice, pots, almond milk, s-berries, peaches, clery, carrots, fresh tomatoes, mushrooms,green beans, luch meat, chiken and turkey,light mayo, ketchup, Romain lettuce. Thats about it for now. Thanks again for listening your support and for just caring!

Here are a few ideas, I'll try to come up with more!
Shepherd's Pie made with lean ground chicken or turkey, celery, organic fresh tomato sauce, whatever seasonings you can tolerate (oregano, salt/pepper, Worcestershire sauce, etc.), and potatoes mashed with almond milk.
Actually there are all sorts of things you can do with ground chicken or turkey and fresh tomatoes – meatloaf (baked on a rack so that any fat can drip off), chili (doesn't have to be spicy), homemade "Hamburger Helper" type pasta dishes, etc. Think of recipes that use ground beef and use lean ground chicken or turkey instead, and adapt them to be IBS safe.
I like to make this (I half made it up, half adapted a recipe): brown ground chicken or turkey and drain any fat drippings. Boil bite-sized pieces of carrot and potato until tender, drain. Mix potatoes, carrots, and chicken/turkey all together with about 1 cup of cooked rice, add some Italian seasoning and soy sauce and you've got yourself a very tasty meal!
You didn't list bread or pasta – can you eat wheat? If not you could try rice noodles – they are very good. Whether you can eat pasta or rice noodles, try using it in place of rice for stir-frys for a change, or try making pasta/rice noodle salads using friendly veggies and some light mayo. I find mayo mixed with paprika makes a very nice dressing for pasta salads. You could even make big pasta salads with cooked chicken breast to serve as a main course. Whoops - I reread your post and see that you DID mention pasta!
For dessert, bake peaches until tender and drizzle with a cocoa, icing sugar, and water glaze.

Add fresh cut up peaches and/or strawberries to pasta/noodle salads.
Place chicken breasts, cut up fresh peaches, and cinnamon and nutmeg in a casserole dish and cover with water. Cover loosely with foil and bake until chicken is done.
Do you like turnips or sweet potatoes? They are also pure SF (minus the skin of course) and make a nice change of pace from potatoes. Cook turnips well and mash with a little bit of margarine and black pepper. Cook and mash sweet potatoes, then place a a casserole dish, sprinkle with brown sugar, and put under the broiler for a few moments until the sugar begins to melt/crystallize.
Make IBS-safe "french fries" by cutting peeled potatoes into wedges, spraying with cooking oil and tossing with a little salt and seasonings, and bake on a cookie sheet until tender.

I can email you later when I get home - I'm at work and web-based email sites are banned on everyone's computers.  Please feel free to ask your questions here, though, if I have any answers they may benefit someone else, too!

What if you cut up fresh tomatoes for the chilli? Or maybe cut them up and run them through the blender? Can you have canned tomatoes/tomato paste/BBQ? All of thoes things you could put into a chilli and you can buy all of thoes things organic.
You could make a chicken salad.
Cut up some chicken. Remove all fat and skin.
spray pan with pam. Cook untill no longer pink in the middle.
Tear up the lettuce you can eat and put on a plate.
put chicken on the lettuce along with any veggies you can eat. I think you said grean beans. That would be good.
You could also put homemade curtons on top. "butter" a couple pieces of bread with whatever you use.
Cut up into bite size pieces.
Add a little seasoning, maybe garlic salt, pepper or just leave them plain.
place in a moderate oven/broiler untill toasted. Or you could use a toaster oven.
pasta salad with tuna
1 can of tuna in water drained
cooked pasta shells
light mayo
finely diced onion
lemon juice
Put tuna into large mixing bowl. Break it up and add mayo, onion and lemon juice. Mix well.

For the cilli, You said you can have catsup. What if you made a "BBQ" sauce out of it.
It would be something like,
catsup, vinegar, brown sugar, salt, maybe a little liquid smoke.
*What about chili verde?
you could use ground turkey/chicken.
onion, diced
green pepper, chopped
canned tomato in own juice- Or cut up some fresh. You could also blend some fresh up.
1 can of green chilli (leave out if you cant have. I always do but hubby likes them.)
parsley flakes
sugar
ground cloves
cumin
lemon juice
Brown chicken/turkey, drain.
put chicken/turken into crock-pot along with other ingredients. cook on low for 6-8 hrs or high for 4 hrs.
*Brown Sugar Carrots
Clean,skin carrots and thinly slice.
boil carrots in small amount of water untill done. (When can easily cut with a fork.)
Drain.
In pan combine margarine, brown sugar and a dash of salt.
stir untill combined; add carrots. Cook untill glazed, not long.
*Honey carrots
margarine
carrots thinly sliced
orange juice
ground ginger
honey
Combine all ingredients in sauce pan and cover. Cook on low untill carrots are tender. stir occasionally.

Okay, I think I recall you saying you couldn't eat garlic or onion – maybe this is why commercially prepared tomato sauce doesn't agree with you as most of them have one or both of these in it.
I have a recipe at home for oven-roasted tomato sauce that uses plain old store-bought tomatoes – you can add whatever spices/seasonings you can tolerate and voila! you will have what should be a safe tomato sauce. I will post it later when I get home.
Like Melanie said, you can use fresh cut up tomatoes for chili, or try buying organic canned diced tomatoes that have no added seasonings – then add your own. For a Hamburger Helper style meal, brown some lean ground chicken or turkey, add some water and cut up tomatoes (or safe canned diced tomatoes), a packet of MSG-free beef bouillon for flavour, some spiral pasta and simmer all until the pasta is cooked (adding more water if necessary).
One thing my mom used to make when I was little was very good – cook some ground chicken or turkey, add some cooked macaroni, diced tomatoes, and ketchup (yes, ketchup!), and place all in a casserole dish. Bake until hot. My sister and I used to gobble this up. I'd forgotten about it until now – lol!
For pasta salad, cook some spiral or macaroni pasta, and rinse with cold water to cool. Add any safe veggies you like – mushrooms, green beans, etc., and some tuna or cooked chicken if you like. Add just enough light or fat-free mayo to hold everything together. Sprinkle with paprika, mustard powder, or any other seasoning you can tolerate. It's tough to mess up a pasta salad. You could even try a homemade vinaigrette – mix 1 part oil to 3 parts balsamic vinegar, and mix through the salad – a little goes a long way so don't use too much! As I said before, you could even dress it up with fresh peaches or strawberries, especially in the summertime.
I will think some more about pasta dishes that don't need tomato sauce and get back to you!
