I have a bunch of fresh cukes from the farm and need a safe way to serve for a cook-out for the weekend. Suggestions?

I don't think there is a recipe for cukes that is actually "safe". They are a burpier IF vegetable and have to be eaten raw (you don't cook cucumbers). I eat them with SF and am fine but there isn't a specific way to make them safe. Removing the skin and seeds helps. I also pickle them.

"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!

I love cucumber juice! Do you have a juicer?
I've stir-fried them, in the past and created a kind of glaze.
Another thing I've done as well is FINELY SLICED them in the food processor and made a Thai salad with carrots--very very very popular at parties--it's just seasoned rice vinegar, fish sauce, and a little lime juice for the dressing.

I just had another cucumber thought. Have you ever had cucumber soup? There's tons of recipes out there. My grandmother makes cucumber/potatoe soup: it's amazing!!! Pickle soup is really really yummy too.
