Exclusion diet - meal suggestions
Discussion
I'm just about to go on an exclusion diet to try and discover what's annoying my stomach, and with the list of foods that I can't eat, I'm a little stumped as to what I can make for myself over the coming 2 weeks!
Below is a list of the foods that I'm not allowed, can you help with some suggestions for meals? I'm not that fussy an eater, just not very imaginative!

My wife did that diet for 6 months and has written loads of recipies. If you ask her nicely I am sure she will send you some examples to get you going.

I've never successfully managed to reintroduce either food groups and I've been off dairy for 22 years and corn around 12 years. I still react to them even at this stage.
I do find though that the more processed the food the worse the reaction is, so I get a lesser reaction from say sweetcorn than I do from glucose syrup.
You need to follow the medical advice you've been given but personally I'd be tempted to try this the other way around, I'd try dropping a food type at a time and see if things improve. I gave up dairy initially on my dermatologist's advice as my eczema was horrendous - it went away overnight and I suddenly realised that I'd been feeling pretty bad generally and suddenly I felt better.

This is direct from my doctor, the whole document can be found at the following links:I do find though that the more processed the food the worse the reaction is, so I get a lesser reaction from say sweetcorn than I do from glucose syrup.

I was recently tested after a reaction to milk (Have been drinking it for 30 years).
Thankfully, the way I was tested showed what foods (and alcohol) I was intolerent to, and to what extent.
Obviously this was private, but was a single 1 hour session and only 100€.
PM me if you want more info.

Not meaning to freak you out here, but have all other causes of your symptoms been ruled out?
Colon cancer is rare in the under 40s, but it does happen.
I know 3 guys who've had this, and each had to pester their GPs for further tests having initally been told that it was 'just IBS'.
One's still here, the other two died aged 35 and 38.

At the moment dinner has been ok, it's breakfast and lunch where I'm really struggling. We are looking into making some soups today as nuts and fruits are the most satisfying in the cold weather!
