Mark had been losing weight again and need some suggestions of meals that are easy to digest!!  He has had a lot of antibiotics lately for urine infections and finds that after eating even a small meal he gets stomach pains and nausea. I have started him on the fortisip drinks again but he really wants to start enjoying food as he really doesn't have much else to look forward to. Tonight I am trying a bland meal to see if that helps. I  am doing steamed fish, potatoes and vegetables. He can't have wheat, dairy, poultry or shellfish so that gets rid of a lot of things!

Thanks xx

It is difficult when you have to avoid certain foods such as dairy, I know only to well with having a life time of it.
Fish is probably the best food to go for as it's easier to digest, but avoid the strong flavoured one's, sea bass is a nice light fish,  but go easy on potatoes as they can leave you feeling bloated.
