Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

For beans, you can try the White Bean and Almond Dip from Heather's EFI cookbook. For broccoli, try one of the mashed potato with broccoli recipes from the Recipe Index. There are two or three of them out there. Or just make Skinny Mashed Potatoes - potatoes and chicken broth - and whirl in a little well-cooked broccoli. Start with just a little bit of broccoli and work up.

For both beans and broccoli, take Beano. I think the liquid is disgusting so I recommend the tablets.

Go slowly with the corn. Try just a few kernels with a solid SF base and see how you do.

I can't think of a different dressing for the tomato pasta salad.

As for fried chicken, there are a lot of baked "fried" recipes on the Recipe Board including one that used ranch dressing and potato flakes.

When it's hot we grill a lot for dinner. I marinate chicken or fish or shrimp and Joe grills it. We eat them with rice or sometimes just good bread. For lunch I make a lot of pasta salads. I particularly like the chicken, almond, grape one; Shell's tuna and apple one; and the Pasta Salad Nicoise. I cook the pasta the night before when it's cooler and then put the salad together right before lunch. I also make chicken salad sandwiches (super easy) and the Weight Watchers shrimp and artichoke salad. Joe makes guacamole for lunch pretty regularly. I don't worry too much about IF since I'm IBS-D.

HTH.
