How do people stay slim with ibs?

[Bunnybun90]

This is a random one but, need to know how people stay slim with ibs?
I can't eat any of the healthy foods & have to stick to frozen stuff.
How do you do it?
Please, I'm struggling with my weight but then also with my ibs.

I have ibs and I am quite slim I guess but I do eat healthy foods. I rarely eat frozen foods.

Do you mean you can't eat fibrous food because it makes your bowels too 'active'? I'm not sure what else you might mean about not being able to eat 'healthy' food - and by 'frozen', do you mean frozen processed stuff like chips and chicken nuggets and stuff?

There will be 'healthy' food that you can eat - if it's just that it has to be bland, then you can go a long way on grilled chicken, pasta, rice, fish, potatoes, bananas. You can lose weight by cutting back the amount of fat in your diet - which should actually be good for your IBS as well - and (obvious I know) simply by eating less. Little and often is probably best, both for weight loss purposes and for your IBS.

I can't eat any fruit or veg except for berries.
I have been eating frozen fish, chips, chicken mostly processed stuff for around 2-3yrs now as it's what I'm comfortable with.
