I have loads of Dark Chocolate and Candy Corn...will that work? I've had neither today.  The chocolate will definitely cause a problem. The candy corn may not. Are you back home now? |

Bread may be though, but I don't know if it's due to the wheat or wheat gluten. So that means I can eat spoonfuls of sugar, but not cookies. LOL Eggs are OK sometimes but not always. Oil and fats are definitely not ok. Red meat and spices are not ok. Veggies are not ok, but they may just be too tough on my stomach right now. Fruit, except for bananas, has not been ok either. Hm, pears. I hadn't thought of those. I'll have to try them. I wonder if canned would be ok. Thanks! Yes, I am living on peppermint tea. I'm also taking probiotics. Both seem to help. The main problem is that I'm not sure what's causing the problem (yet).... D001 - 2009-09-17 12:00 PM kaqphin - 2009-09-16 9:34 PM I have a stash at home at the moment.. you're welcome to help yourself.... All I've eaten today is chicken and bananas. That's all I seem able to handle. I also can't drink coffee, so I have a massive caffeine-withdrawal headache. Or maybe it's a sugar withdrawal headache. LOL Interesting combination - are they ripe bananas? Because they have a lot of sugar in them so if you can stomach them there must be other simple carbohydrates you should be able to handle in small doses.... Im thinking high GI easy to process stuff like white bread (if gluten/wheat isnt an issue), potato, plain white rice In terms of protein... I always prefer chicken when Im sick too so not sure... but how do you feel about eggs? Maybe lean pork? (Try to stay away from the fattier cuts of meat) I also find that for me red meat may not appeal but really helps... but thats to do with my iron levels more than anything! Other things to consider - basic vegetables like lettuce (limited flavour and mostly water) Also pears are excellent for tummies.. I think they are better cooked so they are soft and mushy and easy to eat... Additionally are you drinking peppermint tea? Get a massive stash! When I was in hospital they gave it to me... apparently they give it to anyone that is in with GI problems or for something along that lines because its one of the few 'natural' style remedies that seem to help... I find it really soothing, the warmth is probably part of it... and it seems to settle things... its not a fix or anything but it helps enough for me to have a cup every day and more if Im having a bad day... start off making it weak until you get used to it! Dee - not sure what the issues are you are dealing with but if you want to know anything from a GI point of view Im happy to help... Im not as good as a doctor but I have spent HOURS reading up and all sorts of things because well... Im a bit OCD like that Yeah ok that makes sense... so cooked fruit might be ok.. apples can be ok but once again if you cook them they are much easier to handle and diguest... Sounds like a lot of the stuff I cant eat but even more extreme... other things to try would be rice based things like plain steamed rice, rice crackers and rice cakes When are you back at the doctors? Because it definatley doesnt sound good |

Im not as good as a doctor but I have spent HOURS reading up and all sorts of things because well... Im a bit OCD like that Interesting about pears. I love them and I will have to try it. Second the peppermint tea recommendation. It is really great for helping your stomach. I like to put some honey in it, too. As far as meat, right now all I've been able to stomach is chicken, pork (like pork chops or pork tenderloin), and some fish. Today I made an omelette: 1 egg, 2 egg whites, smoked salmon, and chives. It was the first real food I've had in about two weeks that didn't upset my stomach. I'm so happy. I made really good pork chops in the crock pot on Monday: 2 pork chops (thick, boneless), 1 can fat-free cream of mushroom soup, 1/4 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce. Cook on low for 6 hours. Serve with rice. The dinner was fine, it was deciding to eat a cookie after that did me in. Im impressed with the soup! A lot of the time I use a guide along the lines that if I can think about the food - the taste/texture/smell without feeling repulsed in anyway it might be ok... Darn those cookies! |

I've had neither today. I have a stash at home at the moment.. you're welcome to help yourself.... had a bit of a bad day Tuesday and found myself buying crap at the Supermarket on autopilot... Which is insane since most of said junk food i dont want to eat with my tummy.. So... Im happy to make a sugar/chocolate donation.... From memory I have... a giant kit kat, a crunch bar, peanut M&Ms, Mint Slices, Caramel Tim Tams, Marshmallows.... ummm I think thats it... there were pineapple lumps but I had some of those (and regretted it), caramel slice (flatmates eaten that) and grain waves Did I ever mention Im an emotional eater? NO pop tarts thought ?  |
