Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I'm reading this right before I have to leave for work and haven't even read the other posts but had to reply it was so funny!

Sorry you had a BBD but please know I'm laughing with you not at you! I come from a long line of fabulous cooks on both sides of my family and guess what - I can't cook! This has long been a family joke that I too think is pretty funny - I just laugh and eat what the great food everyone else has made! I cook for my immediate family every night and most of the time it's just so so. I can bake better than I cook.

When I found Heather's diet I decided to use my breadmaker which had been collecting dust for years. I followed the recipe in the guide - substituting soy milk for milk etc. and baked a loaf. It was square and hard like a brick. I thought I must have done something wrong so I baked another and another and another all the same. My husband thought this was hilarious and proceeded to tell everyone. My BIL asked if he could use the bread to brick his driveway, and our friends starting calling our home during the day when we work and leaving messages for Kim's Bakery ordering Brick Bread.

Anyway, once I added a little more liquid, the bread was fine. Most people would have known right from the start that the dough was too stiff but oh well...... Through trial and error I've gotten a little better but I'll never be a natural! Heather's diet not only helped me feel better but is making me a better cook/baker!

Hope you have a great day Casey!

P.S. While I was typing this I was cooking pasta (which is the one thing I usually do well) to bring to work for lunch and burnt it!
