I think I have a new addiction! Yes, I agree re: Cheerios--they are like "manna." I thought I'd give them a shot and well...holy wow! I totally completely UNDERSTAND why you were eating 6 bowls of them/day. I had the same problem in University--really evil IBS-D and well, I was living on Froot Loops and Cap'n Crunch, carrots and applesauce.
I strongly suspect that if we opened a cafe for IBS-D'ers, Cheerios as a dinner entree would be a bestseller. Hmmm...I think it would win as an appetizer and dessert, too!
Actually, I hate cooking and I'm really lazy. I love things that sort of prep. themselves.
Your soup recipe sounds wicked--perfect with some sticky rice/jasmine rice, or even a potatoe and a little more broccoli for dessert! I will give it a shot. I'm out of carrots, but that shall be remedied, tomorrow. Actually, I think it would be really good with carrot strips. Yes, broccoli totally agrees with me. Actually, asparagus would be really good in there instead of broccoli.
Re: the banana bread. Actually, I only had a bite the size of my thumbnail...maybe eighteen crumbs? Seriously. That's how "phobic" I am. I'll work up to a piece the size of a finger one of these days, soon. I totally agree that a slice of something homemade is perfectly partnered with a hot mug of something steaming...teecino or a roasted chicory beverage, with fresh nutmeg, or an aromatic tea. You've got to try Celestial Seasonings "Tropic of Strawberry!" Even better with a fabulous conversation/company! It was fun reliving my "Easy Bake Oven" moment and the smell...mmmm... I agree re: dunking in safe coffee-type beverages/chai.
Thanks for the healing soup recipe--I love it's quick simplicity.
Take care of you. Kate, IBS-D.
