I'm (24F) looking to lose 15-20lbs to get back to my healthy weight. Problem is I have pretty bad IBS and all the healthy, high-fiber foods I enjoy give me painful gas cramps.
I'm already working on cutting down on alcohol, lowering my portion size, and upping my exercise. This will probably take care of around 10lbs on its own over a few months, but I also want to make some adjustments to my diet so that I have fewer IBS flare ups. I prefer to eat vegetarian/pescatarian if possible, but as I'm moving in with my folks to save money, I am currently eating poultry/meat during shared meals.
Has anyone with IBS had good luck with particular foods for weight loss/general healthy eating? For instance, beets ruin my stomach but I am actually okay with a big kale salad. I love brussel sprouts, but I have to have a small portion and I can only have them on a day that I haven't had much fiber (so I can't have a kale salad for lunch and brussels on the side with dinner).
I know I should try an elimination or FODMAP diet, but I realistically don't have the bandwidth to deal with that right now. So any recipe recommendations and tips you've found in your journey would be greatly appreciated!
