I've been so careful lately, because I had such a long several months of problems, and now that things are "calm" inside most of the time I just don't want to rock the boat.
But this weekend Eric grilled burgers while his folks and sister & brother in law were here. He used very lean hamburger. Gosh they looked good and I wanted one so bad! Well, I had soluble fiber first, then enjoyed a small one with fresh tomato and fat-free miracle whip, oh my gosh it was SOO good! He flavors the meat up with teriyaki and minced onion, mmmmmm... sorry if I'm making some of you hungry! But this is a big deal to me, that if you keep the diet and are patient and get yourself stable, you can occasionally "cheat" and it won't be a big deal! I of course did not put cheese on it, did not have a salad or any deep fried tater tots, so don't think I just threw caution to the wind here. But this is cause for celebration, after about a month there of eating nothing but oatmeal and mashed fruit. Not only is this a physical feat (IBS could handle it) but also a mental feat. I'm feeling less "afraid" of food and that is also a freeing thing. People without this can never understand all the ramifications it can have on a person.
Well, I just wanted to share my little thrill!
