I miss spicy foods, especially Thai, Russian and Ukrainian. I miss cheese and salami sandwiches, cabbage salad and Russian cakes.

Anything dairy, the occasional steak, and nice frothy coffee drink now and then

Yogurt, kefir, cheese and pretty much dairy in general
yummy deserts that have about 10,000 calories 
I don't miss coffee much but sometimes I miss frappuccinos when everyone else gets them at Starbucks
french fries and regular potato chips
All of the above I miss but can live without. What I miss more is flat stomach, no pain/gas, being able to go anywhere for multiple nights without constantly worrying that I will get sick.

I try not to think about it, because it'll only make me depressed. However, even after 12+ years of no dairy, I still have cheese cravings -- but usually these cravings can be satisfied by something salty.

Simply put...FREEDOM!
The freedom to go anywhere anytime without worry. The freedom to not locate the restroom just so I know where it is just in case when I enter someplace. The freedom to eat whatever, when ever. The freedom to go somewhere at a moment's notice without thinking about the possibility of having an attack. The freedom to leave the house early in the morning without having to use the restroom many times.I just miss the FREEDOM!

Coffee, lots and lots of coffee, I used to drink at least a pot a day. Loved to go out and eat and have a coffee or cappacunio afterwards. Also, just being able to eat anything without thinking about it and as much as I could. I would know that I might be a little uncomfortable if I ate too much but a dose of Alka Seltzer would take care of that. Now I go for days and days with pain when I do something I should not.

One word - STABILITY. Feeling stable with myself and my body and not having anxiety or worrying all the time. I miss the old me as well, and I agree with Nugget about the freedom. In terms of foods: corn on the cob, peanut butter ice cream, and the occassional good burger.

Strictly in terms of things I can put in my mouth and belly - raw vegetables and coffee. I miss crisp, fresh healthful vegetables. And help me, I miss coffee. My whole identity was tied up in loving raw vegetables and drinking coffee. I have hope for eating raw veggies again someday. I'm doing my best to forget about coffee. That seems like a never-again food.

I miss feeling normal, I feel like a mutant in that I tend to plan my life around my food and eating schedule. I miss being able to go out to eat with my family and friends. I miss grilled cheese.
