well, uh, i vegged out.
food intake du jour:
--about a cup of rice dream in chai
--2 bananas
--zucchini fries, green beans
--spinach and cremini mushrooms
--some brussels sprouts for dessert
--2 dates
--5 apricot halves
notes:
--those dates are better than chocolate! they literally melt in your mouth! i love organic unsulfured dried fruit, especially dates and apricots.
--whenever i have a huge cold, i crave brussels sprouts.
--bananas are back. i feel much better now. hmmm...as i have a perpetual chloride/sodium/potassium deficiency, that explains why! (great source of chloride & tryptophan!)anyways, i'm totally full of nutritional serotonin! i was really craving them more than anything in the world. (they're diuretics, too, incidentally)
--spinach & cremini mushrooms--i could eat them everyday. food processing the spinach makes it so decadently creamy that i swear it's better than ice cream!
that's all.
kate, ibs-d.

i'm back! but not counting calories. my stomach's been a little iffy lately, so i'm aiming for very low-fat for a bit, and taking a break from challenging veggies for a few days.
plain bagel (my ultimate stomach comfort-food breakfast - psychologically, too)
3 egg whites (hardboiled)
veggie bologna on white, lite mayonaise
caramel soy milk steamer (starbucksing for the first time in a long time)
2 caramel wafers
banana
baby carrots in balsamic vinnegar
saffron rice with tofu
apple sauce w/ ff cool whip & pumpkin pie spice
peanut butter crisps
dry frosted flakes (no soy milk in the house)
i feel alright about that day. i was craving dry crunchy sweet things at night, but i could have made worse choices there.

Sometimes I crave cabbage soup with vinegar when I'm not feeling well. I wonder why that is? Childhood comfort food? That unique cabbage odor that gets through a stuffed up nose? Because of the gas factor, I haven't had cabbage since last fall. I might try it again, though, but just have more potatoes than cabbage.

Sounds WONDERFUL--go for it! Whip up a batch of cabbage/potatoe soup. Or even kale/potatoe. Both are wonderful!
Actually, I sort of wish I had a bag of potatoes in the house, lately. Tons of vitamin C and potassium, minerals, etc. They have such a beautiful binding effect for soups and well with this D streak...I've been eating more and more and more bananas.
Indeed, I miss potatoes. Mmmm...a spinach/potatoe smoothie...or swiss chard/potatoe...or asparagus/potatoe...with LOTS of cremini mushrooms for dessert number one and more bananas for dessert number 2 or hot applesauce/pear sauce...
Must revise grocery lists, methinks.
Kate, IBS-D.

Ooh, I like your suggestion for substituting kale. Potatoes are great in soups! I might wait until it gets colder, though, or until I have a cold. Whichever comes first.
I also love new or baby potatoes (with skins on), cut in half, boiled with bay leaves and a bit of salt. Easy, simple, tasty.
Wait - I thought you were allergic to potatoes?

Well, they always give me a huge tummy ache and itchiness/weird breathing. It feels like I've put rocks in my pipes. (I suspect that I don't know how to properly cook them. The last time I tried to microwave-bake a potatoe it exploded. Yes, seriously exploded.)
After my potatoe incident, I returned to the market and learned that the potatoes I had consumed were actually "rotten." I had no idea that they had frozen. They had greenish spots on them. So, maybe, my adverse reaction/suspiscion had something to do with that.
That "new potatoe" weekend in the spring had me in g.i. agony.
I guess I'm potatoe-phobic after that NASTY experience and after not eating them for so long.
I'm more of a sweet type, i.e. bananas, apples.
However potatoes have tons of vitamin C/chloride/potassium.

Go for it! Throw them in the food processor to finely chop them. That should help. And of course, make sure they're extremely well cooked and mushy.

Now, if only I can get up the guts to try a proper potatoe in something again.
