For various reasons, I eat out a siginifcant amount of the time.
I would say 3-4 times a week for dinner I eat out, and anywhere from 1-4 times for lunch.
Breakfast is always eaten at home.
I have read and have a least an elementary understanding of the IBS guidelines, them being
-Low fat, no dairy, no redmeat, soluable fiber in larger quanties before insoluable fiber, caution with acid foods.
This has helped me cut down and clarify to a large extent what I should be searching for when preparing my own and purchasing food.
For instance, I now know when going to a Chinese restaurant, the General Tso Chicken is an obvious no.
However, there are several other tasty selections that are rather ambiguous.
Many times, I do not know if something is high in fat, or has dairy.
While I will list some questions, I think the best I could ask, and the best answer I could receive is one on if there is a good book out there I could buy to provide me with the knowledge and resources to answers these question myself.
Eating out enjoyably and safely for IBS is a major issue for me, and I could spend a lot of time on here asking questions, a lot of time when ordering deliberating over what to get, but all this will do is cause confusion for me, and aggitation for others.
It would be ideal if there was a book out there which would be able to provide knowledge on how to eat out safely and enjoyable for IBS.
Consuming chicken all the time is boring, and would make following a diet hard.
At the same time, spening a half hour reviewing a menu, and still getting it wrong, also is rather unpleasant.
I understand Heather has a book, Eating for IBS, but I was not sure if this book's focal point is eating out.
I understand there is a segment on eating out, but because this is such an area of importance and confusion for me, I did not know if her book went in depth sufficent enough to provide me with the resources to solve this issue myself.
Help me help myself.
