You are so encouraging, Wind. I appreciate all the time you take to respond to my inquiries.
Before heading on this trip, I had thought that I handled veggies pretty well. I knew that they had a tendency to make me bloated, but I thought that most of the bloating was coming from other factors such as stress and the occasional randomness that is IBS. However, since I did so well (especially considering the high level of stress and relative lack of sleep) without eating them, I feel as though they may be one of my biggest triggers.
I am absolutely open to the idea of juicing. How would I juice vegetables? Zucchini and squash are pretty water-filled - would they work to juice? If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.
I consider applesauce and apples "safe" foods for me, so I suppose I don't even really think of them as fruits. I've done pretty well by pureeing mandarin oranges, pineapple & peaches and mixing it (on a 3:1 ratio) with applesauce. I've always eaten that as a "dessert" after a SF meal, though. As for vegetables, I think I tolerate tomato sauce pretty well... but that may just be wishful thinking since I love it! I'm more than willing to experiment!
Thanks so much!!!
