u/tserous

Hi, I'm going to be starting a low fodmap diet and I just want guidance from people who have some experience with it. I struggle with very severe depression so my meals beforehand were very simple and not healthy, just anything to get something in my body. (Think fried foods or pizza, ramen, etc) Most days I struggle to eat more than a single meal as I simply do not have the energy to cook, some days microwaving a meal is too much effort. I know I am also very sensitive to nightshades and dairy hurts my stomach a good amount too, which I am sure limits my options for something simple.

Any help finding something very easy to make that tastes good and wont hurt my stomach or my wallet? (because wow a lot of stuff is crazy expensive). I purchased the Monash App but I am incredibly overwhelmed by all of the information and am finally coming here to ask for help as well while I try to get used to it.

Are there any super easy things (things I could throw into an air fryer or crock pot and forget about with minimal prep) that I can eat/make, or am I just simply out of luck?

A big barrier for me doing this diet has been my depression, and any help from people who experience the same who have managed to get it going would be so so appreciated.

Thank you for your time, remove if not allowed—I'm just desperate for relief. 😔
