A reader of my blog suggested a nicoise salad made with quinoa could be a good low Fodmap dish and I agreed. I substituted the quinoa for the potatoes just because the quinoa adds more fibre. Then I gave it my own twist with the addition of feta cheese, which I love and my favourite herb, coriander. There is not a lot of rhyme or reason to that except I had feta and coriander in the fridge but I do have to say that it worked well and didn't overwhelm the palate.

Prawn Quinoa Salad
If you have irritable bowel syndrome with constipation, it is so important for you to watch that you get enough fibre. A day with a low fibre intake will result in problems the next day. With every meal that you eat, make sure you are getting the fibre you need. If you slack off on this, you will pay for it. Just make sure that you don't go overboard or you could get increased bloating. Quinoa is a great grain for its fibre content and it also has a hit of protein to increase its value as a super grain. Eat it often with a permitted helping of low Fodmap vegetables and a protein for a complete meal that will serve your constipation well.

I Need Your Advice please… plus Stuffed Peppers
Okay, okay, I’m getting emails from people about my cliff-hanger. Sorry about that. It was kind of fun but also kind of serious. I got up this morning fired up to expand on this idea I mentioned and ready to tell you all about it. But I didn’t know how to explain it without all the pieces worked out. And then it occurred to me – what if I had this all wrong? Who was I to assume that I know what you want? So I have decided to make sure that I am about to give you what you want. I now have a solution to this dilemma but first I want to tell you a story that haunts me. The Lonely Man on the Park Bench When Dario was young, we used to live in a different house just 100 metres along from the beach and most days in summer we went for a swim after his home-schooling lessons were over. One day, I was sitting on a bench up on the grass verge above the beach while Dario played below in the sand, and an old man came and sat down beside me. We got talking and he had gone for a walk … [Read more...] about I Need Your Advice please… plus Stuffed Peppers
