Hi Jordy,
I don't really eat gluten free bread, with the exception of some cornbread I make from scratch sometimes. I'd be happy to share the recipe with you if you're interested.
Lunches these days are usually leftovers from the night before. I've also been making soup on the weekends and eating that for lunches during the week. Some recent examples are Tinkyada brown rice pasta with vegetables or brown rice with vegetables. I've been roasting veggies a lot in the oven - zucchini, eggplant, mushrooms, tomatoes, onions- whatever I have around. I add a little chicken or some beans to this mixture for protein sometimes. I've been experimenting with lentil soups also. I find the red lentils get much softer and are easier to digest than the green ones. Sometimes I just eat fruit and rice cakes with peanut butter. And/or soy yogurt. Depends how hungry I am. I'm not sure if any of that helped you or not. Do you ever eat beans or lentils? I find they do the most to help my constipation, but I had to add them into my diet slowly.
I understand your desire to stay away from the boards. Feel free to send me a private message if you'd rather talk that way - I'll send you my email address if you would prefer.

Hi I was wondering if I could e-mail you. I Have been having a pretty rotten week and could use someone to talk to. I think your right these boards can mess with your head.

I hope they can help me.
Does the yellow looking "zucchini" have just as much fructan or is it okay?
Thanks

Hi Zara!
Oh Yeah! I think it most definitely contributes to my C!
And I'm in the same dilemma...not sure if I should stay with it or not.
Have you made any decisions for yourself?

I would love all your recipes! And I have no idea how to roast veggies (or make the soups). Do you need a special pan to roast veggies?
I am stuck on turkey on GF bread, but GF bread is expensive! I have no clue what else to eat....I'm not very imaginative! 
Do you always make your own soup....or have you found a canned soup that is safe? I eat Amy's Lentil soup, but that isn't red lentils and has too many onions, which may be a problem. 
Do you still follow this diet or eat SF before IF?
What are your dinner leftovers?
I would love your email address! Thanks! 
BTW, anything your can recommend for snacks?

It is difficult to say if it is okay. It depends on the person. Some IBSers can consume lots of fructans with no problems. Others cannot.
Zucchini - yellow or green - contains about 2.5 grams of fructans per 100 grams. A 100 grams of mashed zucchini is about 1/2 cup. The amount of fructans in 1/2 cup zucchini is about twice as much as found in 2 slices of white bread, 2/3 cup of pasta or 1 medium sized globe artichoke.

GF stand for gluten free diet. You don't eat anything containing the ingredients wheat, rye, barely, oats, spelt.... Um, that's all I can think of right now.
Your doctor can test you to see if you carry the antibodies or not. It isn't a problem for the majority of the people....so don't assume you need to be GF! You have enough fears, as I do.

....between fructose and fructans?
Okay, this is my last post. I'm getting very obsessive again.
