Quote: I just read "fat malabsorption" in your signature... I haven't heard of that.. how did you know you have it? can you not eat any fat? or just large amounts of it don't work for you?
So, here's an interesting story regarding fat. I've been following Heather's diet for about 4 weeks now and doing much better. Last week, I was out of town all week on business - which could make diet pretty tough but I planned very carefully bringing single serving containers of rice, tuna, bread, oatmeal, applesauce and my teas. All week, I ate the above foods for breakfast and lunch but had dinner at the hotel each night. My dinner each night was grilled skinless chicken breast and baked potato (with nothing on it). But one night I decided to have salmon instead of chicken, they served it with green beans (which have never upset my stomach) so I ate about 1/4 of the beans... The next day I was back to my "Old Normal" - I had 8 BMs the next day, felt horrible with gas bloating and pain. So I was trying to figure out what I had eaten that could have gotten me so upset and all I could figure was maybe they put butter on the beans so I asked the next night when I went back and yep they sure did (even though I had explained to the waitress that I cannot have butter or oil in any quantity). But what is so intersting about this is how much butter do you suppose would be in the small amount of beans I ate - maybe 1/2 tsp at most which I believe would be about 2 grams of fat (plus the fat from 1/2 filet of salmon) - That is how intolerant my system is of FAT!!
