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

Awww, thank you, Kate!

I have a brand new box of the Strawberry tea up in my cupboard, too, that I have not opened yet. I was afraid it would trigger my reflux, but if it doesn't bother you.....maybe I will give it a shot.

I probably could have eaten some mashed potatoes and green beans today but I felt too bad to go to the grocery store yesterday and get stuff. So, I just ate what I have in the house which is NOTHING!!! My fridge is embarassingly empty, too.....I wish it could be full of cheesecake!!!!

If I can get to the store tomorrow I will pick up some portabellos, green beans and potatoes and have my thanksgiving dinner tomorrow!!! hehehehe

OH, I cannot have soy milk, anymore either!! I just had a bowl of frosted flakes the other day and I thought I was going to die!!!!!! I cannot even eat frosted flakes dry. They also triggered my reflux but not half as bad as the soy milk. Never again!!!

My favorite brand of pretzels is the unsalted mini's by Snyders (of Hanover). They are the BEST!! They're expensive but I cannot find any other kind of pretzels without salt. The salt hurts my tummy and gives me sores on my tongue. I have a box of teddy grahams, too. Maybe I will go try to eat a few of them, if you can handle them.

Sorry, I'm using you as my guide.....My system is so sensitive right now that I'm afraid to temp things unless I know that someone like you can handle them......I know that I might not still be able to tolerate some things that you can, but it would give me the confidence....at least....to try!

Thanks Kate!! You're the Best!!

I can't handle protein powders, either. I bought some type of protein powder (soy protein) from the grocery store and put it in my cereal about a week ago and I almost died!!! Glad to know I'm not alone on that one!!

Hey, I really really want to try Luna bars!! Can you handle those??? They sound sooo good and there's alot of IBS people on here that can handle them. So, I'm not worried about them affecting my BM as much as I am the reflux!!

I totally understand the frustration of living with IBS-D AND Reflux!! It's horrible!! I'm so glad that I have you to help me through all of this, Kate! Seriously!

My dad was just here yesterday and he doesn't understand what I'm going through at all. He says "I get heartburn all the time, I just ignore it and keep going. Why can't you??" He doesn't get it that I have a hiatal hernia!!! My heartburn is sooo much worse than the simple burning-in-the-chest kind of heartburn he's talking about, you know??? Yea, that would be easier to deal with than the constant feeling of "going to throw up all over the place at any minute with no warning!!!"
