I agree with you PABeachBum... Thanks for your additions here.
Unfortunately, I live in a rural area where even major supermarkets don't stock some of the recommended things like range grown chicken and turkey. Those have to come from a local butcher here, and in fact they SURE DO taste better, absolutely. However, not all free-range poultry that is anti-biotic free is also steriod-free. It's a total nuisance and frustrating that we have to take a magnifying glass these days when we grocery shop. Then there are what were items that were tested as tried and true for us, and now the manufacturers have altered their ingredients!... no longer safe for IBSers!
As many know, I am slowly though steadily moving away from animal products altogether. I'm enjoying the tastes and textures of vegetarian eating, though there are many definitions of veggie eating. I have found my own niche, feel great, though do stretch myself a little here in there when at social events with loved ones. I know what I need to do to prepare for those in advance, and also what to do the following day(s) to get my gut back on track if it rebels. Often times it does not at all, and sometimes it just seems worth the price to gather around with loved ones and indulge a little beyond my daily diet.
My basic philosophy is that quality of life is more important than longevity of life. However, in reality these things do seem to run hand in hand. We need to balance everything... mentally, physically, and spiritually... all having our unique personalities, needs, and specific food requirements.
My very best to you as you travel your own life path and experience the joy of being alive and well!
