Welcome, Joanna!

In addition to the helpful suggestions above, I've found some good recipes in the MFP blog, here:

https://blog.myfitnesspal.com/category/meal-planning-recipes/

I don't know of anything specific there about IBS, but if you know your trigger foods, you may find some good stuff there.

In other parts of the MFP blogs, there are articles about gut health, including some that touch on IBS issues. There's a search function (magnifying glass) for the blog area that may help find some of that. I've seen articles about FODMAPs, pro- and pre-biotics, etc., that could be relevant.

I was diagnosed with IBS at one point in the past, but generally experience few/rare symptoms these days (post weight loss, with generally improved health, regular exercise, attention to good overall nutrition, etc.). YMMV on that, though, since IBS issues can vary between individuals.

Best wishes!
