I hear you! It was my mom's bday this weekend and I had alcohol and cheesecake! Ugh...boy did I pay for it. The pain hit at night, as I was going to bed, a piercing sharp pain in my lower abdomen/pubic bone area (right side). It was horid and I am still dealing with some of it now. I know how you feel. I too was at a point where I felt deprived...but no more. I am a semi-vegetarian, so I don't miss meat. I love fruits and veggies and have them in abundance, the "IBS-safe" way, and eat many of the soluble fiber ones as is (sweet potato, beets, carrots, bananas, etc.) I have oatmeal with soymilk nearly every morning (I don't think I could ever get sick of it). On the weekends, as a treat, I have chocolate milk (vanilla soymilk and pure cocoa powder heated up) and fresh baguette with seedless jam (apricot, peach, etc.) I like to cook, but like you, find it difficult to find the time. I cook more on the weekends and keep leftovers. I don't look at the recipe book that much (except for desserts: rice pudding, cornbread, zucchini bread). I make my own (baked chicken, with couscous, fish, and again, lots of veggies...lentil soups, etc). I find that I don't miss things that much anymore. Also, try to have some of the "forbidden foods" when you're stable, after a decent size soluble meal, extra supplements. You should be OK then. And so that you don't feel so deprived, go out to eat once in a while and substitute or omit as necessary. It's not so hard at most places, once u get the hang of it.
Good luck!
