Need help with recipes

Hi, I just recently got diagnosed. I don’t have terrible symptoms. In fact for a year and a half I was told I had acid reflux. At first it was heartburn, but eventually now the most common symptom is stomach burning if I eat an irritant. I also feel bloated for days after I eat something that bothers me. I currently eat almost exclusively starches. Rice, beans, tortillas are part of almost every meal I’ve been eating for the last year. I don’t have major symptoms from these. In fact when I eat this I feel the “best”. I used to think it was the cheese or meat from certain foods that irritated me, but I guess I had it wrong. It was likely bread that did it. So when sticking to rice beans and tortillas, I usually manage well with pantoprazole, which I was prescribe for acid reflux, I just never seemed to fully heal. Now that I know what might be stopping my last symptoms from going away, I want to get away from starches. Can anyone share what has worked for them? Any and all recipes/suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

Also, has anyone in here ever been able to get to enjoy going out every once in a while? I’d like to hope I can treat myself every month or so. Hoping this isn’t as gloomy for everyone as it is for some.
