To think he could cook his own meals??

[ChelseaMumma]

DH has ibs and apparently I'm meant to be cooking to suit this.

We have four dc and I cook meals that I know they will mostly eat.

DH is 34 and perfectly capable of making his own food.

Last night I cooked macaroni cheese as eldest requested it. In bed DH had a go at me as he wasn't feeling great and I should know better than to cook food with cheese in. I told him I didn't force him to eat it and he could make his own food if he had a problem. He ignored that and carried on moaning.

I absolutely hate cooking anyway so aibu to think he could make his own dinner if he doesn't like what I cook?

FODMAP may have worked for you but not for me. It’s simply not true that it eases the symptoms for the ‘majority’ with IBS. It simply helps some people.

I'm sorry it didn't work for you, as with any treatment it doesn't work for everyone. All the patients I've referred for treatment have found it helpful. The research shows up to 86% of ppl with IBS experience symptomatic relief from a low FODMAP diet, that's a significant majority and why its a recommended NHS treatment from NICE. There are literally hundreds of papers so I can't link to them all but:

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4918736/

This paper summarises the results of 22 studies in to FODMAP efficacy including 6 randomly controlled trials (RCTs) the gold standard in research:

And yet many people with IBS don’t seek medical treatment let alone take part in trials...

A massively restrictive diet that cuts out many food groups is likely to provide relief in the short term, but it’s not really sustainable long term. It’s a blunt cosh aimed at IBS sufferers in general rather than individuals. And it’s treating or managing the symptoms rather than tackling the root cause.

Many bodily illnesses, diseases, conditions respond to stress, asthma, eczema, psoriasis, m.e........ that doesn't mean they are caused by stress, or as some doctors past and present think, they are imaginary.
Diabetes, ulcers, cancer, chrohns, Ms all thought to be hypochondria in the past because doctors couldn't find a cause. They are still at it with medically unexplained symptoms, they think you can have cbt and be cured, they are mistaken, perhaps deluded. (Not so)Nice collude. Fodmap diet may be proved as a treatment, a management tool, or not, lets find the cause for all these problems, the cure may follow. It occurs as part of other syndromes and alone. It is a real physical problem.
