JoanMarie, I understand PERFECTLY! I have been SOOO much better since I cut out all insoluble fiber from my diet. I used to love salad bars, but every time I left Izzie's after only one small serving, I barely made it back home in time -- I was doubled over with pain and had to run to the bathroom, where the attack began -- for the rest of the night!
But I have to add back the insoluble fiber. We have to have it. No, I can't eat broccoli or cabbage or salad. Cooking it in soup is the ONLY answer for me. The broccoli leek soup in here and this cabbage soup do NOT bother my tummy AT ALL! In fact, I have a happy tummy after eating either. The broccoli is cooked and pulverized in the soup 'till you barely recognize it -- very easy to digest! And the cabbage in this recipe is chopped into little tiny pieces and cooked and COOKED; it's also easy to digest. AND -- here's a real plus -- I think it was even better tasting tonight than it was last night. The only thing about this soup is that I don't know how well it would freeze. It makes a lot -- but so far my hubby is eating it so fast I won't have any to freeze!
Try it -- you'll like it! And I think your tummy will too. Eat some soluble fiber first, like some crusty French baguette bread, then have a little more that you can dunk in the soup. Oooh, I'm starting to drool!
