Can I still eat yogurt?? Like vanilla or lemon, or the ones that have the fruit blended in, cuz I hate it when it's got fruit at the bottom! I'm SUCH a PICKY EATER, there's not much I like. And I'm not very good at cooking, is there any of these recipes that are in Health Food stores?? I love yogurt tho, and I'm not sure yet if it's a trigger for me. I ate some before and I didn't have an attack..........................yet! LOL

Also, I need to know if I can eat:

-Pirates Booty
-HERRS Sour Cream N Onion chips
-Cinnamon Toast Crunch (dry)
-turkey
-ham
-chicken
-pork???
-gravy?
-swiss cheese (never had a prob with it)
-crumb cake?

One more thing. I got these Peppermint pills awhile ago and they're called "Peppermint Plus" and they're made by Enzymatic Therapy. On the bottle it says it's a "Dietary Supplement to support gastrointestinal tract function." The ingredients in these pills are:
Peppermint (Leaf Oil Extract)
Rosemary (Leaf & Stem extract)
Thyme (Whole plant Oil Extract)

So they say to take 2 capsules between meals three times daily. Should I take this stuff??? Does anyone out there take this? Do you think it's good for me?

Thanks people!

Pirates Booty has cheese in it so it wouldn't be good.

Sweetwater: Hi--I take peppermint oil enteric coated softgels when my gas is acting up and they do seem to help. They're enteric coated so they don't start to "melt" until they get past the stomach. They are by Solaray and have peppermint oil, quercetin (I don't know what this is), rosemary oil, thyme oil and chamomile. 60 softgels cost me $19.99 at a health food store, but Heather said I probably can find them cheaper. I'm checking Wal-Mart this weekend.

I love Pirates Booty. I believe it's baked isn't it? It doesn[t bother me except I eat the whole darn bag at one sitting. Kinda like eating peanuts or potato chips--once you start, it's hard to stop.

The potato chips should be okay IF THEY'RE NOT COOKED IN OIL. Are they baked?

turkey and chicken should be okay if they don't trigger an attach. I'd watch pork and ham, tho. They're much harder on your system and have a high fat content. Gravies are a no-no unless they're the fat free (FF) kind.

Check the ingredients on the other stuff you mentioned and then check those ingredients out in Heather's book or her website.

Have you tried cooking easy things like baking crumb cake? When you cook or bake it yourself, you can control what the ingredients are and know that there are no hidden ingr in it to trigger an attack. Cooking is kinda like a puzzle--if you do everything right, it'll turn out, and sometimes even when you don't do everything right, it turns out! It's a great way to express yourself and use any creative talents you might have that you don't know about yet!!!

Good Luck.
Sharon

Pirate Booty is the best! It's a cheesy puffy - you know what? I don't know exactly what it is! It's good though. I find it in the chip aisle in my grocery store, by the organic tortilla chips and other organic snacks.

Hmmm....still have no clue!

Guess I'll have to wait until I'm back on North American soil before I can try it!
