While many people with IBS find dairy a trigger, mozzarella is one of the milder, lower-lactose cheeses – which means some can tolerate small amounts without issue. If not, a dairy-free soft cheese alternative works just as well here. Juicy tomatoes are full of antioxidants and support digestive health, while a drizzle of olive oil helps reduce inflammation and aids nutrient absorption. The crispy chips are made in the air fryer using minimal oil, giving you that golden crunch without the heaviness of deep-frying.

To finish, a few naughty-but-nice bacon bites, air-fried to reduce fat but still deliver texture and a savoury kick. For a vegan twist, roasted seeds make a delicious, crunchy alternative that’s also rich in gut-friendly nutrients. It’s a gentle, balanced plate that proves comfort food and IBS support can go hand in hand.
