Are you GF or can you eat wheat?
I do also get a little sick of basing everything around certain SF foods that have to be in each meal, but we find a lot of different things to make. I cook meals from different ethnic groups to keep it interesting. There are these SF foods to use in a meal if you are not GF:
potatoes (as you know)
sweet potatoes
gnocchi
tortillas
regular pasta
soba noodles
rice noodles
bread like a loaf of good crusty french/italian
egg noodles
pizza crust
cornbread
several different kinds of rice: arborio(risotto), basmati, jasmine, sushi, long grain, even brown
couscous
misc grains like barley or quinoa
cooked mushrooms
Here are some easy meals:
make Heather's fantastic cornbread in a castiron skillet, marinate chicken in safe BBQ sauce and then bake and make one vegetable for a side.
make kabobs and have white rolls or baguette
make tacos and have long grain rice (with tomatoes and green chilis in it)
make jerk chicken and pineapple salsa and have grilled sweet potato wedges
make Pad Thai with shrimp
make barley with grilled veggies and throw in rotisserie chicken
make fajitas with mushrooms and flour tortillas
our basic meal in this house is fish, shrimp or chicken with jasmine rice and broccoli and I make a variety of Asian sauces or whatever for the meat. We love Thai and other asian foods and we love good sticky rice. I buy jasmine in sacks at Sam's Club and we eat tons. Another great one is put some Thai roasted chili paste (you can buy at store, I make mine) in a saute pan. Add some asparagus pieces and about 1/2c lite coconut milk. Cook about 4 min, then add 1-1.5# shrimp (raw and peeled) and cook until done. Serve over jasmine rice with lime and cilantro or Thai basil.
I don't have many snack/lunch ideas.

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!
