I would encourage you to read the section "A new way to eat" on this website. It explains the trigger foods, and how to safely eat. I understand your fear. When I was first diagnosed, I always asked myself "What is this going to do to me" everytime I tried to eat something. Arm yourself with lots of information. Read all the information on this website, and the one for the first year IBS which will give yourself some starting points. Dinnertime doesn't have to be complicated. Make sure you have a simple starch ie. baked potatoes, rice, white bread, etc. Add a safe protein (ie. chicken breasts, any seafood you like) - make sure you prepare it with low fat and without trigger foods. Add some cooked vegetables - (cook them very well). I like the frozen mixed kind - dump it in and boil it. Easy. Try some of the fabulous recipes on this website. Crockpots are lifesavers - everything is well cooked and easy to prepare. Take care. PS I love turkey/chickens - you can even buy the cooked deli whole chickens for family night. Serve it with lots of mashed potatoes (no milk), gravy (low fat) and cooked veggies. Others can eat the dark meat - you stick to the white. If you make stuffing with white bread, that's safe too!
