Sweetwater: Hi--I take peppermint oil enteric coated softgels when my gas is acting up and they do seem to help. They're enteric coated so they don't start to "melt" until they get past the stomach. They are by Solaray and have peppermint oil, quercetin (I don't know what this is), rosemary oil, thyme oil and chamomile. 60 softgels cost me $19.99 at a health food store, but Heather said I probably can find them cheaper. I'm checking Wal-Mart this weekend.

I love Pirates Booty. I believe it's baked isn't it? It doesn[t bother me except I eat the whole darn bag at one sitting. Kinda like eating peanuts or potato chips--once you start, it's hard to stop.

The potato chips should be okay IF THEY'RE NOT COOKED IN OIL. Are they baked?

turkey and chicken should be okay if they don't trigger an attach. I'd watch pork and ham, tho. They're much harder on your system and have a high fat content. Gravies are a no-no unless they're the fat free (FF) kind.

Check the ingredients on the other stuff you mentioned and then check those ingredients out in Heather's book or her website.

Have you tried cooking easy things like baking crumb cake? When you cook or bake it yourself, you can control what the ingredients are and know that there are no hidden ingr in it to trigger an attack. Cooking is kinda like a puzzle--if you do everything right, it'll turn out, and sometimes even when you don't do everything right, it turns out! It's a great way to express yourself and use any creative talents you might have that you don't know about yet!!!

Good Luck.
