Fruit and Salad Eaters
01/09/04 09:19 PM

For the most part, I can't tolerate conventional fruit or lettuce. It has to be organic. Secondly, I can't tolerate canned fruit or canned veggies or raw fruit or raw veggies.

However, I manage to put some fruit into my diet by using organic babyfood fruit sauce -- the kind you buy in small jars. I can eat various babyfood sauces -- pear sauce, apple/blueberry sauce, apple/banana, etc. -- all pureed with no additives.

I use the fruit sauce like a jam spread on my french bread or bagel for breakfast in the morning. That way I get my soluble fibre and sneak in some fruit at the same time. I don't eat fruit at any other meal other than breakfast.

I definitely can't tolerate fruit juices. Mainly I just drink non-carbonated bottled water or peppermint tea.

I haven't had salad in a long while. However, in the past I have successfully managed to sneak in a slice of organic lettuce in a plain sandwich with Rowe Farm (available at health food stores in the Greater Toronto Area) organic turkey slices.

I've also been known to cook lettuce. Lettuce tastes a lot like spinach when it's cooked and that's a treat since I can't tolerate spinach.

As for vegetables -- in general, I sneak them into my diet once a day for dinner. I cut up various combinations of baby-sized portions of organic zucchini (skin removed), organic sweet red pepper (skin removed), organic red chard (well washed), one small bite-sized piece of organic brocolli, organic celery (outer skin peeled), organic carrots (skin peeled) and organic squash (peeled and chopped). I often bake the vegetables in the oven, along with some organic potatoes, and rarely do they bother me.

The trick is to not eat too much or too many of the vegetables -- but just enough to get some nutrition and variety in my diet. I don't have vegetables at any other meal except for dinner.

By the way, I did an experiment one day and I cooked conventional vegetables instead of organic ones. I became incredibly ill afterwards. Heather recommends organic for IBS people and I know from my own experience it is the better choice (even if it is, unfortunately, the more expensive one).
