Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Hey, Kate~what do you eat??

I didn't know you were Canadian! That's awesome!

Thanks for your list of foods that you can eat!! You're right, slim pickins' just like me!!

I do often eat baby food, because it's the only thing my tummy will tolerate, sometimes.

You know, I have some crispix in the cupboard that I haven't opened yet. Maybe I will try that. I haven't tried mushrooms in a long time, maybe I will try those, too. I LOVE MUSHROOMS!! Especially portabellos. They don't give you problems??? I would really like to be able to eat those again. Yummy!!! Portabello burgers are the best!!!

I used to make a squash/zucchini stir-fry that I really did well with but I haven't tried it since my IBS flare in August. I have been trying to keep it ultra-safe.

I tried to eat a banana this morning, too and it isn't working out so well. I'm starting to get that "feeling" again.....reflux! NO!!!! I'm sipping on some chamomile tea to try to avoid the Pepto!! I need to stop taking so much of that mess.... I ate some applesauce 3 weeks ago and won't do that ever again, either!! That was horrible! I almost threw up because I couldn't get the acid to calm down in my stomach. It took about 2 hours to get it under control. I cringe when I even look at applesauce, now. Pitiful, isn't it??!!!

You know, I couldn't stop eating oatmeal.....and I kept having horrible, horrible gas.....reflux, all of it. I finally switched to cream of wheat 2 weeks ago and it has really helped. I can't eat oatmeal anymore, either. I hate that because I love my oatmeal but it just hurts too bad now. I am tired of paying the price for foods that I think I just have to eat!! I gotta let them go......

Funny you mentioned the reflux affecting my teeth....when I was stable back in 2004, I lost a filling and within no time it became absessed. I finally went to the dentist in May of 2005 and he said it was absessed and I had to have a root canal and I still have 3 more appts to get it finished. I got the first appt out of the way and then I got really sick with my IBS and have had to cancel my other appts because I get too nauseated in the chair. So, I really need to get this finished.

Have you ever tried Anise tea?? I was looking on heather's website and found that Anise is really good for indigestion and stuff like that.

All of my family is in North Carolina, so no one will be coming to visit me today......it's just me and my hubby. So, I will eat my cream of wheat and he will probably order a pizza. He's not much into turkey.

Does turkey or chicken bother your reflux??? It bothered mine the last time I tried it. (last week). I woke up at 3:00am pounding the Pepto bottle!!! It was horrible!! My whole body felt like an acid pool!!!

Yuck!
