Oatmeal is one of those for me, it’s almost shocking how I don’t feel terrible even after eating a good portion… that got me wondering what else there might be.

Fruit,
Stir fry
,Salmon and rice
Mostly healthy stuff that doesn’t include beans/legumes
Everything except pizza.
And that’s only because I have no self control with pizza.
Carrots and cucumbers with hummus
For me, a chicken broth or the archetypal ‘girl dinner’
I have IBS and these are all my go to meals
Oats for me too! Rice, chicken, most veggies, eggs, oatmeal toast, fruit, water, chamomile tea, light soups
Anything that doesn’t have heavily processed carbs. Whole foods. Meat or a vegetable protein, whole grains, and fresh veggies.
Fish, roasted veggies, eggs, soups
I’ve found that it’s less about the food and more about the portion size. But it’s much easier for me to overeat when I’ve made, for example, my daughter’s favourite (vegan) mac and cheese, because it’s easy to wolf down more of it.
Costco has these “sheet pan” frozen vegetable mixes that are so good.
Look up Low FODMAP foods.
Any meat or fish with roasted veggies (experiment to find some that don’t bother you, I’m okay with asparagus or green beans)
Chicken/pork + rice + veggies.
There are so many options to keep it interesting. I almost always have a container of lightly seasoned brown rice in the fridge ready to go. (I add a spoonful of vegetable bouillon and some salt to the water before cooking)
Not many, and if I forget to take my meds, nothing! My digestive system hates fiber, so fresh fruits, veggies, etc. are my nemesis. Lettuce/leafy greens are my actual arch enemy.
For me it’s yogurt, simple grains (sourdough, rice, pasta) with proteins and cooked veggies, and processed foods. Small, frequent meals also help, but the key for me is cooking/processing fibers specifically to make them more easily digestible.
But I am an outlier, and it took a long time of working with a GI and a registered dietician to find out what works for me.
Love oatmeal, I usually do that with a handful of dried cranberries and some walnut pieces.
My other main breakfast is two scrambled eggs and I slice up an amylu chicken andouille sausage bc I like a savory breakfast. Sometimes add a slice of toast w/ raspberry preserves. I don’t feel tired and lazy after that, and I’m ready to start getting stuff done for a productive morning!
Sushi
Broccoli, cauliflower and other cruciferous vegetables make me feel so bloated if I eat more than 1 serving 💀

Sushi! Eating little & often! Less dairy less coffee (my favourites)
For me, it’s vegetable protein, veggies in general, fruit, rice….
No animal based products though, never felt good after eating them, and feeling better than ever after ditching them tbh.
Plantbased food cured my chronical gastritis that had been present for 16 years by then. Just boom!
Salad and fresh fruits and a grilled chicken
Poke bowls
Salmon and rice
Boiled eggs
I have issues only with bread, pizza, sweet or processed stuff and thank god I don’t even like any of these.
Any fish! I love salmon! Oatmeal, yogurt, black bean burgers, cottage cheese with fruit, my protein smoothies, taco salad
I’ve been making Sour Spicy Cold Noodles using glass noodles instead of wheat and sauerkraut instead of cucumber. I eat it for most meals. I’m obsessed with this dish. It’s so easy, delicious, and good for you!
Whole milk Greek yogurt, chia seeds, fresh berries, and toasted salted pumpkin seeds. I basically eat that every day and it’s been amazing. No more bloating, and it fills me up. Plus the sweet berries and salty pumpkin seeds are a good combo. It’s kind of a perfect mix of healthy fats, fiber, pre and probiotics, and micronutrients.
Some sort of protein (usually fish or eggs) and brown rice.
Raw sushi
So I learned how to make this kind of salad in school while attending this 8 week nutrition class. They called it a mediterranean-style salad.
I have PCOS and this is one of the main meals I have because of how bad my insulin resistance gets.
Starting from the bottom of the bowl or jar of choice:
-the ‘meaty’ part:
diced persian or hothouse cucumbers, prerinsed in TJ’s vegetable rinse since I like to keep the skin on for more fiber
garbanzo beans, black beans, great white beans, usually from can
sometimes i add diced heirloom tomatos from my patio garden, otherwise I leave out since I’m picky about uncooked tomatos
the leafy part:
the fun part (aka the toppings):
Optional:
Anyway you can mix and match but the meaty part makes up like 50% of the salad volume and the leafy part makes up maybe 30%. Thats the key for me – theres so much you’re chewing and eating and its all flavorful, so by the time you finish you get kind of full. It sounds like a lot of work but honestly once you figure out what you like its pretty easy to plug and play since its mostly assembling. The focus on whole vegetables and beans that will keep way longer than the leafy stuff also helps make it more economical (to me anyway).
I make a quinoa salad with an herby olive oil and lemon juice dressing, parsley, cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, cucumber, chickpeas, and feta cheese. Once it’s been sitting in the fridge for a couple hours the quinoa gets really nutty and addicting, I’ll keep stealing spoonfuls throughout the day.
I’ve cut out all ‘white’ food-pasta, bread, rice, processed food like cake and cookies. My sister has biopsy proven coeliac disease-I don’t, but I’m sensitive/intolerant to gluten and if I eat too much, then I feel bloated and uncomfortable. I tend to stick to protein and veg, its not a keto diet as such, but quite low in carbs.
Have you worked with a registered dietician? Do you need to see a GI?
Most meals shouldn’t leave you feeling bloated and tired.
fruits + raw vegetables
Salmon, greens, yogurt, shredded wheat, fruit and veggies.
Vietnamese spring rolls
Literally the only meal I can eat that doesn’t make me feel awful is salad.
