well, we both have immune system disorders (i believe fibro is an auto-immune disease??? ditto for thyroid disorder. i have aloepecia which is in remission, i.e. my hair just spontaneously grew back and my immune system stopped attacking me for awhile). my mother likes to blame my hair loss on my diet, however, my endocrinologist and dermatologist will be the first to tell her that her contention is MORE THAN FALSE.
i eat what i'm more or less sure won't come back, i.e. i won't vomit/regurgitate. i eat things that generally don't give me an attack. the mode of prep. allows me to eat more veg. than most people with ibs. it sounds like i spend tons of time cooking, but actually i don't. it's just a matter of cooking in large batches and actually it's quite fast.
parents--they all want the best for us and i know my mom's generation has it in their head that meat eating has something to do with intelligence and health and vitality, but that's CRAP. i just pull out the list of brilliant vegetarians and vibrantly healthy vegans.
mostly, though...i'm in a food rut and kind of bummed so i need more ideas. i admire your baking fun. i wish i had a sweet tooth. then i'd be baking treats. usually, though baked goods give me a horrible tummy ache. darn. i'm just not used to them, i guess. it is fun, though.
thanks for the note. i guess sometimes i feel a little self conscious on this board because i eat differently. but, the amount of SF i actually consume is phenomenal.
kate, ibs-d.
