Please know that I do not stick to a 100% fibro diet. I’m a mom to five kids and life just happens. If you cannot stick to a good fibro meal, it’s okay – just try again with the next meal. These recipes are rated from one to five stars along with a link to the recipe, if I found it online. Any comments or modifications to the recipe are also left for each recipe.

April 2
Sausage with rice and kimchi
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Comments: Sausage is either a yes or no for me, so I can only have it once every other month or so. Kimchi is extremely good for the digestion tract since it is loaded with good bacteria that makes it easy for your stomach to digest.
Make it fibro-friendly: Use brown rice, but I’m not sure how well that will taste with kimchi.
April 3
Best Ever American Goulash
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Comments: This is an easy dish because it’s just one pan to dirty and clean, and reminds me of my grandmother’s Southern cooking.
Make it fibro-friendly: Substitute the noodles with whole wheat noodles.

Baked chicken with loaded baked potatoes
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
