where you can find them fresh?
I can't have citric acid which they add to almost everything canned (can't have olives anymore!! ) so I was wondering if anyone knows where to buy fresh chick pease...if it's even possible? I've never seen any at the HFS I go to...
Thanks for any help! It would be SUPER to make my own hummous and tahini!

I believe you can get them dried, in bags. They're usually near where bags of rice and lentils are kept.
HTH!

I know my mother bought them once from the bulk section dry at her local grocery store.

Yes, you can get them dry in the bulk bins or in bags with other beans like lentils, black beans, etc... they are also called garbanzo bean.

Dried chickpeas, cooked, taste a lot better than canned chickpeas. Well, to me, anyway. I always use dried chickpeas (cooked, of course!) when I make hummus.
I get mine prepackaged in bags in the grocery store, where the rices and beans are.

Can he eat fruit? Can he have ascorbic acid?
I'm not able to have ascorbic acid OR fruit so I am trying to find innovative ways to get vitamin C.
I have heard of Ester C but I'm too chicken to try it atm for fear it will be too much for my bladder. I plan to try it in the future though.
Thanks for any thoughts *hugs*

I know broccoli is not the best for your digestive system, but 1/2 cup cooked has as much Vitamin C as an orange. Other good sources that were on your list include romaine lettuce, sweet potato w/ skin, baked potato w/ skin (not sure if skins are a problem for you), shiitake mushrooms, yellow corn, carrots... HTH!

I'm not sure how well you can handle brussel sprouts? They are very high in vitamin c.

Actually most veggies have more vitamin C than an orange, if you want to use that example.
Ruchie, seriously, perhaps steam/drain/mash & then puree some broccoli & use it as a kind of sauce/condiment or topping. When I'm stable, I can handle it prepared in this way. Toss in lots of any kind of mushrooms & it's delicious. It's babyfood broccoli, essentially, but it's actually really yummy! (Confession, I can easily eat a whole broccoli in this fashion without a problem, but why not try 1/2c.?) Another good recipe is to steam broccoli & potatoes & mash/puree. Maybe some carrots on the side?
Carrot juice is a fabulous green salad dressing, fish marinade/sauce. The reserve liquid from mushrooms add so much depth & flavour--"umami" to everything. Try Kree's chicken recipe with some shiitake mushrooms, or osyter mushrooms substituted for the problematic ingredients.
Truly, it's mostly a matter of creative substitution & ultra-IBS-safe prep. techniques.
A great pasta accompaniment is zucchini. Just shred/grate as you would for muffins or a loaf in the food processor & add to pastas. It might need about 2 min. of cooking, so just toss it in with your pasta at the last 2 min. before you drain it. You could add some chicken breast or turkey breast or lean fish bits & voila!
Also, pureed/cooked dried beans/peas can be great accompaniments/sauces. Just soak them overnight to ease cooking. My mother does this.
Don't panic! I know you're creative!
Kate.
