Hi Belinda, What do you do for lunch and snacks? Also, I
noticed you didn't have peas on your veggie list. I thought
they are the easiest IF veggie to consume. What I do is very
similar to what you do except that I have some blueberries
in my breakfast oatmeal, and eat the rest of my fruits at
lunch. Thanks for your post, I feel like I'm doing some-
thing right, but I still have yet to stabilize . -Bob

Hi Bob, don't know if we've met, but nice to meet you and hope you don't mind me replying to your question.

Peas are the easiest veggies, eh? I did not know that!
I really like peas, personally, I just don't have them as often as I'd like.

For snacks, I end up eating Strawberry flavored Fruit Roll-Ups, or cut-up, peeled fresh fruit, or dried fruit. My favorite is Sun-Maid FruitBits (found by the raisins and othe dried fruits) and green or red apples w/ peanut butter or a bit of salt, or celery and peanut butter and raisins... Of course, I try to eat these with SF. I've been trying to experiment with baking (still somewhat of a novice cook) and find that quick breads made with fruit like banana bread are nice to use as an SF snack. Also, incorporation fruit or fruit juices, fruit jellies or fruit ppreserves in my regular dinnertime cooking means I could have some great leftovers for lunch the next day. My dinners always include a protein (like boneless skinless chicken breasts, lean pork chops, or ground turkey. Sometimes when I can afford it, I have fish, too) plus an SF like white rice or potatoes. I can usually eat a variety of veggies but my favorites include sugar snap peas, snow peas, carrots, corn, green beans and beets.

I also like cranberry juice. Sometimes I can tolerate a small glass or orange juice or apple juice.

I really like soy yogurt like Silk Live! Strawberry, Strawberry Banana, Peach, and Blueberry, or Naked Juice brand smoothies (they don't have any dairy in them woohoo!). Both the soy yogurt and the Naked Juice smoothies are expensive so I can't always have them.

Rice cakes, graham crackers, fat-free saltines, dairy-free vanilla wafers, and dairy-free animal crackers (Barnum's brand is dairy-free), quick breads, and white, french or sordough bread or rolls, and bagels are all good to have with my fruit or veggie type snacks.

I recently baked a quick bread called Orange Juice bread, which is very tasty and so far hasn't given me trouble. I found that recipe on recipezaar.com. Here's the direct link. http://www.recipezaar.com/20838.

Well, I really hope you are able to get stable soon and feel better. Take care!
