    Hi Goonergal, Thanks for your advice. I’ve just skimmed the article and am now thinking FODMAPS. I think you are right, it’s finding a balance. I really need to get my cookery books out again and make more effort. I hope you get an improvement too.

    Low carb since August 2020, IBS problems

    A nice breakfast, pancakes made with egg, coconut flour (not much) and coconut milk and a pot of rooibos tea. I can't flip these pancakes as they fall apart so it was finished off on the grill. It was the best looking one so far, hence the photo!

    That sounds very nice. I think variety is key, it's easy to limit your range of low carb meals (especially breakfast). I have lots of t bean and quorn chilli jn the freezer but have recently become intolerant to Quorn. This is a bit of a nuisance. I'll have to do some more batch cooking.
