Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Mmm, PB and banana sandwiches!

One of my all-time favorites was to toast an english muffin, spread with PB, top with thinly sliced apple, and drizzle with honey. Heaven! I miss that. Sigh!

That's the part I really don't get - bananas *used* to make me sick. They didn't make me C or D, usually, but I'd get AWFUL heartburn and indigestion and sometimes it would last for days! Now I'm eating 1 or 2 a day most days, and I'm fine. The only thing I can figure is it's because I'm letting them get riper now than I used to... I wait till they're practically black before I eat them.

Ya know, I wondered how quinoa was. I love my oatmeal, but I'm sure I'm going to get tired of it and want a change. Your vote is that it isn't very tasty, huh? One of the advantages to your gluten restrictions is that you've explored a lot more options as far as some foods go, things I never would have thought to try. So... any good hot cereal recommendations?

Yeah, I suppose it would have been pretty difficult to slip that kind of weight loss by anyone. I never lost that much weight, and it was probably because I consumed so many calories in coffee and alcohol. I hate admitting that sort of thing too, speaking of unhealthy coping mechanisms.

I'm alone because Adam's at work. He works 2-11pm, which means I eat dinner alone all week. And *that* means that dinner for me during the week is usually chicken and oven fries - something I can throw on a baking sheet, toss in the oven, and not think about till it's done. I really only cook on the weekends, and even then, not always.

Yep, I'm a moderator... I don't think there's any rule against personal conversations on the boards, hehe.

Especially since we *have* been talking about the IBS diet, interspersed with other things. If you want to take it to email, though, that's fine!
