Foodies...I need your help!

Okay peeps, I need your help.

I eat HUGE amounts of fruit, vegetables, dried fruit, and some seeds in my diet, daily. But have been told I need to eat more fibre!

I cannot have wheat or potatoes, but do regularly have oats, oatbran, prunes, cabbage, rye crackers, high fibre cereals...

What else can I add?? Question

Are you ok with rice? It's good for sweet and savoury if you are.

Definitely go for rice.

A rice cooker is only £20 and gives good results every time and only takes about 5 mins.

Cook the rice and add whatever you fancy and keep cooking in the rice cooker. Quick and easy.

I am supposed to avoid rice and bananas as much as possible...though I have decided I will allow myself the odd homemade rice pudding once in a while...

I guess this is going to be a tough one to sort out. Rolling Eyes

Right, how about chickpeas, lentils, millet, maize or quinoa?

They're all good "bulk" foods that could help.

[quote="pyroforlife] Blend with an egg or two, some ground bran and add spices garlic and seasoning, you've got wheat free falafel, make burger shapes and deep fry or brush with oil and bake in the oven. [/quote]

Ahh, see can't have egg! But the other stuff looks interesting.

Yeah I'm on a tight budget at the moment, so wheat-free bread is out of the question!!!

I eat all meat but pork (as it's too fatty).

No can't have sugar either.

Before anyone starts: I know I could look such things up on the net, but I find it's always best to hear from real people (even cyberspace bods), rather than actual recipe pages....then they can add their slant on it, add this and that to make it taste like 'real' food. Thumbs Up

I kind of went off kidney beans after being given a sweet rice based dish in Thailand...it had kidney beans in it...the sweetness of the coconut milk didn't help the beans taste any better!! Confused

I am pretty much the same as you know and for fibre I drink pure orange.
rice will only bind you up.
dietry specials do a gluten free multi grain bread in tesco which is actually nice it has good fibre in it. I know you dont have the money for the pathetic size a loaf (thats not even a loaf ffs) but you can always in future bake your own. I use the bread maker (ok i used to when i wasnt lazy) but the flour was £1.20 and ingredints where cheap and lasted ages.

failing all that you can get fybogel a natural fibre drink thats gluten free from your doctor. I was on 2 of them a day and it kept me regular as I wasnt getting fibre off anything else. They taste horrid though. Would be handy if you got free precriptions, but I dont think they are that dear anyway.

can you not have sun messa flakes? they are wheat and gluten free made from armarath (sp?) I eat them but they are a stupid price and give heartburn.

Its shit isnt it. Confused

Right...update.

I have mastered the art of making a mean lentil curry.

Tonight I will be attempting to make something tasty with chickpeas. They have soaked overnight, and currently sitting in Worcester sauce and hot water to gain some flavour (hopefully).

Thanks for all help and guidance on this, all really appreciated. And the fact that lentils and chickpeas are really quite cheap and a pack lasts a fair bit of time, it's actually very good for the budget. Thumbs Up

Cheap conditioner is only 54p at Tescos.
