B: sorbet
L: Scottish and steel cut oats mixed together
2L: mango. Smoothie of banana, strawberry, milk, honey
D: BBQ chicken, cornbread, soleslaw
I think I did pretty good for being sick! 
Exercise: none, still sick, DH went on our Sunday bike ride alone. He was exhausted and headachy. Good news is the heat is breaking for tomorrow! 
Other: I can't seem to drink enough since Friday. Mon-Th I did great with hydration and Friday I just wasn't thristy anymore. I am trying to drink as much as I can. My cold went into my lungs and I have a cough and a goop eye which is gross. I am doing quite good though and had energy for some cleaning etc.

Funeral Visitation was a breeze. Popped some Lorazepam and Immodium. Doused myself with Lavender essential oil. It totally tranquillized me and I was a model of serenity and peace and support. I am I put GAD aside for an hour to personally deliver hugs and my one of a kind energy. Just tired/drained today and still feeling "bleh" from yesterday.
In usual hobbit habit, random order, and doses:
--2 c. strawberries
--2 dwarf cavendish bananas (Ode to miniatures!)
--2 white flesh nectarines, 1.25 c.(Have you tried them? THEY ARE SO SWEET!!!)
--2 c. blueberries
--zucchini
--3 carrots ( with a wee bit of brown sugar!)
--green beens/dill ( Considering omitting them; they give me nightmares)
--Spinach/watercress/arugula/dill (cooked/pureed "salad"/greens)
--3 Jolly Ranchers  (Thought I needed a little CORRUPTION!)
Those green beans are giving me nightmares and I don't know why. Maybe I need to eliminate them? I eat them and then feel nauseated afterwards. Corn gives me nightmares, too. I like it, but it gives me nightmares. Years ago, I had recurring nightmares about brussels sprouts and cabbage as well. I can't go near, either.
Kate, IBS-D.

1/2 cup oat bran made with 1 1/4 cups lite soymilk, fresh blueberry puree and a bit of brown sugar
couple pieces ff bread, zucchini-carrot muffin
egg salad - some managed to stay on the bread, the rest I ate off the plate 
30min eliptical, 40min rushed lower body lift, 15min stair climber
Chicken Chow Mein (with added UFO veggies), 2 pieces ff bread, ant. brownie (really blew the 250 cal meal there! )
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce mixed with strawberry-nectarine puree and peach puree
1/3 cup oat bran made with 1 cup lite soymilk, cinnamon, brown sugar & pumpkin pie spice (bedtime snack!)
Total: 2000
Fruits: 4
Veggies: 2
Really fell off the wagon on the veggies today, but tomorrow is a new day. I'm struggling with the concept of maybe needing to eat more calories or eat less, like today. Hmm... will consult trainer.

What is ff bread? Fat free white bread?
And do you have a recipe for a safe egg salad sandwhich?
Your fruits and veggie amounts always seem good to me. What is your goal? I do 2 fruits and 2 veggies a day.
Elizabeth, does all the bread make you more constipated? What is your current regiment to deal with your C? It sounds like you have made great strides with it! 
Tons of rice/bread stops me up!

Hehe! Just a quick Q. re: your carrot puree with brown sugar. It sounds so yummy. How much carrot/brown sugar?
Thanks!
Kate.
P.S. Something I do often, as a greens puree condiment is make a dressing with fruit puree and a little vinegar--usually rice vinegar or seasoned rice vinegar (sherry, balsalmic, champagne, herbed vinegars and fruit vinegars are wicked too!) If it's plain rice vinegar, I'll add a tad of honey or stevia or brown sugar. It's great with berries or peaches/nectarines, mango, banana, etc. It's also a great coniment for other veggies. The bitter combined with the sweet is fantastic.

I've been on vacation and to a workshop since last week and was away from home for a few days. I pretty much kept to my usual diet since I was traveling, but I did enjoy some safe and tasty Chinese food on Saturday. Lots of rice with delicious chicken and vegetables.
I was really, REALLY tired today, slept most of the day, so I didn't eat too much. It's been in the 90s and my apartment has no air conditioning. I think the heat and stuffiness probably contributed to my sluggish day.
breakfast: oatmeal, 1 slice of toast, 1 UFO
snack: Luna Bar
snack: pureed mangos (baby food), 1 slice of toast
dinner: 1/2 PB sandwich, Luna Bar
snack: 1 flour tortilla

I was sorry to read that you two haven't been feeling well. Ugh. Being sick in the middle of summer SUCKS!  I hope you're both taking it easy and feeling better this week.
Take care!

Brocolli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts...something real gassy! Or raw salad??
But you guys are probably right, it's probably raw carrots.
I envy your bravery to try raw veggies...now that's living on the edge, girls! I'm too scared. I'm such a chicken...but then you two are stable and me, not so much!

I never hear you complain about symptoms so I thought you must be pretty good! Guess your just not as a much a whiner as me!
Jenny, did you ever find a SFS yet? If I remember, you weren't able to tolerate them, right?

Well, I make it a point never to whine about anything I inflict upon myself. And also, I've been diagnosed with IBS since I was 14- so 12 years. I'm pretty used to it all by now.
And it wasn't me that can't tolerate SFS. But thanks for asking.

that is not exactly true. Many of Heather's recipes have raw veggies in them and on her web pages she says to eat your salad after your meal. If you are stable raw veggies are not forbidden like dairy and red meat.

Sorry, should have addressed this. They were baby corn, waterchessnuts and bean sprouts... and they weren't really cooked, just warmed up. They didn't do good things for my tummy, so I will not be eating them again, which is why I said they were UFO.
