Laurie, check out Heather's answer to my post, above. I know what you mean about being hesitant to add in the insoluble food -- BUT of course Heather's right. Besides the great recipes in Heather's "Eating for IBS," a lot of the recipes in the recipe section of this website sound incredibly good. I'm gonna make Mags' Lemon Chicken with White-Bean Puree, Laura's Cozy Veggie Vegetable Soup, Steather's Sweet & Sour Cabbage Soup, Mags' Broccoli Leek Soup, JoanMarie's Rosemary Turkey With Mushrooms, and Mags' Turkey and Roasted Red Pepper Pasta, just to name a few, and I already made JoanMarie's FANTASTIC Burgundy Chicken with Mushrooms. I've started a new 3-ring binder cookbook for all these recipes I printed off our website and labeled the binder, "Good Stuff to Eat!"
About that salad -- I know how you feel. There's a salad bar downtown that has THE BEST stuff. I love to go there and pile on the radicchio, fresh broccoli, peas -- oh, and they have THE best Honey Dijon dressing -- oh, BABY! Well, needless to say, I can barely make it home after only one serving (my husband has two)! I'm so doubled up with cramps and diarrhea -- really, is it worth it? I just don't think so. That bloating and gassy feeling you have right now? I'd blame the salad.
And soy cheese -- YES, it IS as good, although some are better than others. For example, the soy "Tofu Rella" brand mozzarella is FANTASTIC on pizza. The vegan "Soymage" brand American and cheddar cheeses (I tried to make a grilled "cheese" sandwich), not so much. So it's all a matter of personal taste.
Frankly, I think all this "discovery" is kinda fun. Why feel sorry for ourselves (lets face it -- we ain't terminal!) when we can shop around for different stuff we've never tried before and have taste tests! I LOVE taste tests. Look for my upcoming taste test on the infamous "Antidepressant Brownies" versus the "Nu-Pudge" variety! I won't disappoint!  Bev
