Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Thanks for your answers to my few questions

Thanks Barbara50 for your words of encouragement.

I live in Louisiana and the humidity can get pretty rough here in the summers, as I am sure it can in Texas. Right now I am on the partnership track and fellow associates and senior partners have noticed that I am cautious about what I eat. But like you said, if I don't look out for myself and the food I am eating, who will? Dairy is definitely a no-no for me too, as is caffeine, gum chewing, and soft drinks. I have gotten braver about eating snacks throughout the day--I was nervous b/c of gas issues. I eat gluten free snack bars from Whole Foods.

I was curious to know what kind of pasta you bring for lunch or other things you have brought for lunch when you will be in a crunch with work during lunch. I am trying to branch out and get some other safe ideas--baby steps.

My husband is the primary cook, so luckily I don't have to eat out much unless we decide to go on the weekend. He is very accommodating with my stomach issues too. I will have to take law clerks out for lunch this summer and sushi is not a permissable place to bring them for lunch. It is just a frustrating experience. Although it is very encouraging to know that you have been practicing for some time and excelled on your own. Any other words of wisdom or ideas for lunches would be most appreciated.
Thanks so much for your help and taking the time to respond.
