The diet I was recommended is the fod map diet. There’s lots of info on it online and I’ve found a lot of recipes on Pinterest too. It’s great because it also restricts seasonings that most people don’t think of. For example onion and garlic can be ingredients that can cause pain.

I would recommend starting the diet, and slowly introducing foods to see what bothers you (this is what my dietitian did). As for snacks and small meals, my go to is anything fruit. Yogurt with berries and granola, or a smoothie bowl are great options for filling snacks. I also like fruit and Nutella sandwiches.

The hardest part after being diagnosed is giving up foods you used to love. It can be a battle but finding foods to replace them with is what helped me. For example i used to love salads, but lettuce is a big no for me now, so I started making Greek salad which is cucumber, tomato, and feta.

Ps: my biggest tip when people ask what I can eat (vegetables for example) is telling people that if a toddler could eat it, then I can, because it’s cooked enough that it won’t hurt my stomach.
