Wife is currently 4 months pregnant, suffering really badly with her IBS playing up, so to help alleviate the symptoms she has cut her diet back to eliminate all things she knows can make it worse, things like: flour (all kinds, ie. wheat/rice/corn), onions, broccoli, spinach, caffeine, chocolate, beans/legumes and probably a bunch of other things I can't remember!
In addition, she really really doesn't like eggs and fishy fish, and also doesn't eat red meat... does eat chicken (breast only!) and tuna, also non-fishy white fish (cod is OK etc), fussy eh?!
So STW, here's a challenge for you! Any recipes & meal suggestions you can make would be greatly appreciated; basically need nutritious and reasonably high-calorie meals that exclude all of the above ingrediants... Any ideas?
chicken and chips.
LOLz at "fishy fish" 😀
Sausage & Mash (could do Carrot & Swede instead of potato)
Sorry, doesn't eat pork... basically a pseudo-vege - no meat except for white chicken breast and non-oily white fish (what I meant by fishy-fish)...
Baked cod/haddock/non fishy fish and a parsnip, celeriac and swede gratin!
Fish pie - Cod, milk, potato, peas, cream, cheese. none on your list.
And ideally it has egg in it too but you can leave that out.
edit - just remembered that it has flour in it to thicken the white sauce but unpleasant as it sounds you could mix in some mash to the milk/fish/cheese to help with that instead.
Grilled / baked trout is nice
Smoked Haddock risotto - maybe replace the onions with leeks?
I was also going to say fish pie too but remembered the flour. I recently made one for a coeliac friend using cornflour...it just wasn't as nice as a roux based sauce.
Dhaal with pitta bread, leave out the onion, throw in diced carrot, spinach (wilt fresh in boiling water first), go easy on the spices?
Veggie Sausage & Mash 😆
Stir Fry - a basic one of Cauliflower & Broccoli Florets with button Mushrooms with tbls Oyster Sauce a tablespoon of saki / dry sherry and a few tbls of light soy sauce.
Server with plain rice / egg fried rice.
Find a Dhal recipe via google that you like the look of.
deadlydarcy I have a coeliac friend too and you can create a creamy sauce using Creme Fraiche and cheese.
Veggie Sausage & Mash
I was about to say that.
Quorn curry?
Rice? Noodles? You could do a cracking stir-fry, chunks of Quorn or chicken, handfuls of whatever veg she can get on with...
Tofu's nice in a stir fry...or a Thai curry.
Sesame chicken with avocado on salad leaves.
chocolate cake - got a great recipie at home that dosn't use flour.
email me if you want it and i'll send it this evening.
I've done some reading lately because of my own sickness with this pregnancy...and 'they' say that olive oil drizzled on items can help ease digestion because it coats the insides of the digestive tract. -I know nothing abt IBS really so not sure if this would help with the symptoms. I have found that if I drizzle olive oil on the thin crust pizza I do not seem to suffer the same ill effects as when I don't...
You could use arrowroot to thicken any sauces such as white sauce for a fish pie, its usually used to thicken clear sauces but should work ok.
Buy a packet of ready made polenta from Tescos (80p) and some chicken breasts and a packet of stuffing.
Cut the polenta into cubes, mix with olive oil, herbs and some parmesan if she can handle that
Make the stuffing mix, stuff chicken breasts with it, lay chicken breasts on top of polenta
Bake in oven until chicken breast is cooked. Serve with tomatoe sauce

I heard that that Carol Vorderman woman used to suffer from Irritable Vowel Syndrome.
Hey, it was a consonant source of irritation! Hah! Oh, I kill me. Please yourselves. Tough crowd.
if my partner was that much of a food freak I'd leave to work out her own nutritional needs
Roasted veggies and quinoa. Or tofu with stir-fried veg?
