Hi all

I know we all have an idea of what we should and shouldn,t eat from the DR and the WEB ...

BAD..

pizza , beer , spicy foods , alcohol , coke , fatty foods etc etc...

Good....( apparantly )

Wholemeal bread , pasta , fresh fruit , low fat , etc...


I just thought i would share this after haveing a month of chronic stomach / ibs issues (i get confused which is which as one sets the other off ).

I,ve ate nothing (or next to nothing) with additives or E numbers in it for 2 weeks , basically just a bland but healthy diet low in fat and plenty of veg.


Breakfast .....eg..

Wholemeal toast no spread , boiled egg and a apple .


Lunch...

Home made soup ...lentil , potatoe and leek , mushroom , vegatable soup , pearl barley and chicken etc ....plus more fruit .

Dinner...(or Tea in My house )

Baked spud with flora , LOADS OF VEG ...brocolia , carrots , leeks , boiled mushroom , more pulses cabbage etc... with lean chicken cooked myself and the left overs used for the next day or butties (i,m not posh )


The reason i,ve posted this is because i,ve found these types of foods much better than i thought , feel fuller , don,t want pizza,s , mc donalds as they seem tasteless now .
Don,t get me wrong i,m no Angel but i really don,t miss all the crap .

Hope it might help someone , and just wonder if E numbers and Additives play a part in ibs .
