Thank you! I will look up those recipes & check out recipezaar, soon as I get a chance! Tonight, for him I made boneless pork chops w/this applesauce mixture he likes, & I had chicken w/pasta...and we both had..you guessed it-green beans! LOL! At least he eats vegetables now, he didn't when I first met him. It's nice to know that I'm not alone as far as IBS goes or w/the issues I face w/family & friends who don't have IBS. I hope things get better for you. I'm not sure if you can take advantage of this or not, but where I live we have Sam's Club & Costco. They're warehouse clubs that offer discounts on large amounts of things you need anyway-that might help you save some money. The membership fee is kinda high, but the savings are worth it. I recently bought 11 lbs of chicken breast for $14, and 5 lbs of whole wheat spaghetti for $3! I get my Silk Soy milk there too, $6 for 3 gallons. It's a lot cheaper than the grocery store & health food store on most (but not all) things I buy.
