Do you keep a food diary so you can learn what will bump the levels up @Shaz51?

@Adge

Now I know your dietary requirements I will try and encourage you to eat more of the things that help you.

Thanks @Former-Member I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), from my surgeries.

Someone said last week that peas & beans (which I eat lots of) are bad for IBS, unless they are pulverised (blended).

She said that Cabbage is good, & I don't eat any cabbage.

@Adge these two charts have been taken from IBS support sites - lucky for you it looks like cabbage is best off the menu  😀.

Thanks @Former-Member I've just printed it out, for further digestion (reading).

Watermelon is also off the menu - excellent (I don't like it).

I do actually like cabbage, I just don't eat any.

Quick reminder @Adge to raid your pantry for some chips or arrowroot biscuits to have for morning & afternoon tea

[Adge]

Thanks @Former-Member Good idea.

Cabbage can be chopped finely like coleslaw @Adge, then oil, lemon juice, salt, dill and a (very) little crushed fresh garlic tossed into it as a salad.

Its a European version of coleslaw.

Sounds really nice @Faith-and-Hope
