Food you miss the most?

[AshleyB85]

This is a bit of a mini-rant, but something also sort of fun, and will probably make you hungry.

What food do you miss the most?

It's summer in Indiana, and it goes without saying that corn is a big one that I am missing out on.

Also the Strawberry Festival was this past week. No seeds for me.

And as weird as it sounds, I REALLY miss brussel sprouts.

Spaghetti bolognese, miss tomatoes.

 

[AshleyB85]

I miss tomatoes too! Salad goes without saying, I suppose.

 

[Absentminded]

Popcorn, sweet corn and curry.

Mind you, I do eat them every now and again, I just know that I'm gonna pay for it later!

 

[Sailorluna]

Steak... medium rare with blue cheese crust. How I pay when I give in to temptation.

 

[nikimazur]

Salads, fruits and veggies! My crohns is horribly controlled at is moment, so even fruits and veggies that are low in fiber seem to be irritating me. I'm just craving a salad right now...

Spinach artichoke dip--kills me everytime and I have about learned to stop eating it. I gave up beef and pork about a year ago and I do not miss them at all, but definitely feel better without them. Beef was guaranteed severe diarrhea within an hour of eating my entire life, but it took me this long to fully refuse to eat it mainly because my family insists it is the "best" meat.

Although i dont sound as bad a you lot (or stubborn) I really miss popcorn, It used to be my comfort food

 

[gstewart88]

Popcorn, coca cola, fried food. Man I miss burgers and fries!!

 

[2thFairy]

crunchy stir-fried chinese food!

 

[Irene3]

Pork- most traditional Hungarian food is made with pork, and bacon n eggs, but most of all, crackling! Mmmmm I really miss pork

 

[shazz]

crunchy stir-fried chinese food!

Im with you on that one toothy!

Anything that crunches, salad, popcorn, sweetcorn, tomatoes, brown bread, nuts, seeds, strawberries, cheese and now because of my stupid gallbladder food in general!!

Living on toasted muffins and jam, no spread or margarine

 

[Norseman]

Oranges, bananas, peanuts, pop corn, beer,

 

[shmo]

I've never known a time where I was able to eat popcorn, but I feel if there had been, I would miss that. It's so delicious! Yet so painful...

Movie Popcorn

Rare Prime Rib or Rare steak of any kind

A big glass of milk with cookies to dip in it

Tomatoes

 

[DougUte]

Movie Popcorn (I couldn't care less about microwave popcorn)
Sweet Corn on the Cobb

 

[Irene3]

With popcorn ect, have any of your docs suggested chewing food a minimum of 20 times? A nutritionist suggested it, and even with a stricture I eat pop corn, and sweet corn. Nuts- I chew prob 30 times, and if have salad, I chop it very fine and chew heaps. During a lot of crohns pain, I'd avoid salad, but if you chew everything really well, and you have a few mm at least in your intestines for food to pass through, then it's ok.

 

[xSophiexx]

I miss garlic!!! Cant go near the stuff now :-( boohoo

 

[robbo87]

I really miss cherry tomatoes and salad in general, i do have the occasional bit but only very small amounts. I also really used to like nuts but wont go near them anymore

 

[Praying247]

I really really miss my vegetables and fruits! I was vegetarian for 4 years! And since Crohn's hit me a month ago, I've only had one salad/vegetable/fruit for which I paid for later that night... Can't eat the foods which I loved and survived on for 4 years! It sucks...

 

[GeologyRocks]

I miss soy milk so much!! I use to live on it, now it causes so much pain it's not even worth it. I also miss being able to eat a full meal no matter what it is. It seems if I don't want to hurt, my foods can't have flavour

 

[bangarang]

Baked ziti, philly cheesesteaks, chocolate milkshakes.

 

[CharBarSprStar]

...I also miss being able to eat a full meal no matter what it is.

Same here, I haven't been able to eat a regular meal in over a year and not get sick. Recently figured out that I can't handle strawberries anymore and that is a MAJOR drag!

 

[Tiffany]

I miss coke, ice caps, popcorn and juicy steaks.

 

[angiemitch]

I miss pizza ... and lots of other things with melted cheese in/on them. Also greek salad. And bacon. My favourite sandwich is a BLT and I love bacon & eggs for breakfast. And I can't wait for the day I can have a burger and fries again ... with bacon AND cheese! Maybe after the re-section, who knows. I'm making a list of foods I hope to be able to eat again one day, and after I heal from the re-section I might try to visit each of them at least once We'll see.

 

[DougUte]

After my resection I was able to east much more than I was before.It was a good experience.
