I have found that the macaroons have had a good binding effect. The coconut is shredded really small so no issues so far!
 
Plain white rice. First thing I've eaten all day. Super boring, but it isn't exacerbating how crappy I feel, so it'll do.

With people here all over the world I though it would be neat to see what you are eating right now.

I'm eating Salmon cakes with a glass of milk.

Sadly i can NOT eat salmon.:ywow: i am so jelouse and it is abundant in Netherlands.
I have just chomped away through a turkey, salad and cottage cheese sandwedge. Glass of milk.
:ylol2::wink:
 
Tonight for dessert I ate a chocolate self-sauced pudding with chantilly cream and candied orange zest, all made by me. :)

Oooo, that sounds fabulous!

I just had a bowl of cereal here. It's morning time!
 
I am eating everything and everything and loving it! And so is Bilbo!

Tonight is enchiladas, guacamole, spanish rice and refrijoles!
 
I had wings last night and DAMN were they good!

I haven't had wings in almost 2 years, they were previously at the top of my DO NOT list!
 
A smoothie with a banana, vanilla yogurt and peanut butter. This was the first time I ever put PB in a smoothie. What was I waiting for????
 
Tonight we celebraeted Israeli Independence day at the syn with falafel, hummus, pita, tahini sauce and something called "Shakshouka" - tomato paste sauteed with onions and peppers, then baked with eggs on top. Hard to describe but it was really good!
 
For dinner tonight, I had spaghetti with butter, garlic and a bit of sour cream and parmesan. It's sooo good, and relatively nice on my stomach.

I also boiled some carrots with some butter and sugar, for later.
My appetite is somewhat back, so I'm planning ahead. I go through periods of extreme fatigue and can't really cook. The joys of anemia
 
omg. itchimac!
It's where you take a box of kraft dinner, and the last 5 minutes, add a package of raman noodles (chicken is the best for this.)
Then add the milk, butter, cheese sauce and half the flavour pack from the raman.
it sounds so gross, but I tried it today and I almost died in a good way. Too bad I felt sick, I could only eat a little bit.
 
ah avocados are the bomb :cool2:

Thanks to pred munchies, I had an entire 16oz thing of smoked atlantic salmon with a cantaloupe melon and a lb of strawberries.

YUM. I'm still really full though, and I finished like 4 hours ago lawl
 
I had Parmesan Crusted Tilapia, Baked Sweet Potato, and Steamed Carrots...

For dessert... A half a cinnamon roll.

..... I have no idea if I am supposed to be eating this stuff but I guess I will see soon...

[i was just diagnosed on 4/20/11]
 
garlic crusted roast beef, with horseradish. roasted garlic and cheese mashed potatoes. Roasted carrots.
I definitely paid for it though. Halfway through my plate, I ran to the toilet and was on there for about 15 minutes the first time, 20 the next. uuugggghhhh.. Kind of worth it though haha
 
Tonight I had a sour cream chicken enchilada for dinner. It was delicious. I asked for a flour tortilla because I seem to handle that better than corn tortillas. Also had some rice and refried beans. I tolerated it all pretty well, at least I seemed to. I chewed everything really well and ate very slowly.

I feel a little bloated now several hours later and I'm not sure why, perhaps it's my meds. Still don't know whether Flagyl is causing me problems or not. And I'm still having a lot of trouble figuring out what I can and can't eat. Frankly I am afraid before every meal. But I can't stand to eat nothing but Carnation Breakfast Essentials or yogurt shakes or chicken broth. One upside of my current bad flare up is that it's really made me appreciate real food. That chicken enchilada tonight was a serious treat.
 
still hungry

I had a cup of homemade soup with little chunks of chicken, and very little pasta. ... abut two hours ago..

and i'm hungry, i'll probably have an ensure next.
 
wow, what an interesting thread.
Had a bowel of yogurt and honey this morning. Missed lunch so very hungery now.
Many things sounded so good...agghhh
 
Had some leftover rotisserie chicken on white bread with a tiny tiny bit of mayo (low-fat diet for pancreas at the moment), and mashed potatoes. Tasty.

Right now swallowing Pentasa and some water.
 
Had a steak, grilled eggplant, chicken korms, pineapple cheese cake, yogurt with apples and honey, all SCD legal and I am finally full, lol
 
Had some barium milkshakes for breakfast. Mmm! Got some Burger King on the way to work just to get that godawful taste out of my mouth, it was gagging me.
 
Barium - uuuuukkk yuuuuukkkk!
Couldn't be bothered cooking, so munched on chopped up cheese, melon, cherry tomatoes and stuffed olives. Was actually quite yummy.
 
baked salmon filet with dill and lemon, steamed asparagus with garlic and lemon and garlic and cheddar mashed potatoes. Sooooo goood.
 
For tea I ate: mashed potato, well boiled mixed veg (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots), and a nice piece of breaded cod. I never have fish in batter as the grease causes me problems.

Been shopping tonight and bought plenty of chicken...yummy supper ahoy!

Tomorrow for my main meal I will have chicken cooked in a chinese curry sauce, with radishes, celery, spring onions and plain rice.

I'm feeling hungry already for that combination...I won't be able to tell if it really suits as I'm on max dose of Pred at the mo....which makes anything seem fine!:biggrin:
 
I am eating a bowl of cream of wheat with a little agave syrup and some fat free half & half and a green tea (because the cereal is a comfort food from childhood, my husband bought the fat free h&h and I just came from a forum that dissed coffee for chron's sufferers). Something is giving me a pain in my stomach either that or eating anything gives me that pain. Now I realize that I always had these symptoms but ignored them. I had a lot of morning sickness but was never pregnant. My constipation in my twenties was so painful it would send me to the floor with the pain. Now my doc says not to worry about foods but perhaps avoid raw vegetables. I have no diarrhea to speak of so he calls my case mild (2 feet if intestine affected and mostly the cecum) I'm thinking of cutting out meat.
 
Its sunday, so roast lamb, veges and gravy. That was a while ago now and all this talk about food is making me hungry. Im out of here, time to raid the cupboards!!
 
had grilled shrimp over fresh (home-grown) salad greens and tomato.......right now finishing off a glass of mostly tonic water with a splash of wine.....oh, had some ice cream with kahlua.....after a dose of pred...ugh.....and wishing the danged hydrocodone worked better for my ear pain!.......at least it should counteract some of the pred side effect...although I do feel a bit wired lol....but tired at the same time!
 
Crazy. A lot of you may wonder how I can handle this one, but I just ate a couple bites of a Cadbury Dairy Milk candy bar of the fruit & nut variety! Mmmmmm! I LOVE chocolate!
 
I'm not eating anything right now, but I ate a whole bowl of popcorn this weekend, hulls and all, and NO terrible consequences whatsoever. Woo! I won't be eating popcorn on a daily basis anytime soon, but it's nice to know I can have it every once in a while!
 
I had a small bag of popcorn this weekend too, at the movies. I should have read about it first though. Apparently, it's really not good for people with strictures. I can attest to that. About 4 hours after the popcorn (and I chewed it really, really well) I started getting the lower right side pain. Then it migrated to below my belly button, which is where my strictures are. The pain stayed there, and in my lower back, for like 3 days. I think i'm still feeling it a bit. I haven't been having the most spectacular bowel movements lately, either. So that could be why I'm still having pain. I hope it doesn't send me into an obstruction or something else that I don't need. Ugh. I really like popcorn, too.
 
I had 2 eggs, one slice of GF toast, cottage cheese, and some cocktail tomotoes. The tomatoes were beautifully sweet.

As always I started my morning with rice chex, bananas and strawberries with almond milk.
 
I can live without eating much nuts or even popcorn..as I hate how it gets stuck in my teeth..but I could NEVER live without eating Pizza, Japanese food, etc...most of what I eat is crohn's friendly
 
I JUST finished a grass fed beef hamburger with organic tomato sauce. Mmmmm! Grass fed as the n-3 to n-6 ratio is better than grain fed beef :)
 
just made paleo blueberry muffins (mostly egg & coconut flour, some agave, vanilla, cinnamon, blueberries) and a herbal tea blend for relaxing, going to work on some art projects with this bedtime snack!
 
Ate some nice pad king thai was really nice and all ingredients super fresh had some salted dried fish and some challa washed down with cola now my guts are a bit noisy
 
I've been flaring the past few days (finally starting to feel better yay!) so I'm taking it easy with food, mostly liquids. Currently eating (drinking?) banana, kale, strawberry, prune nectar and blueberry smoothie! It's delicious and nutritious :) I'm always happy when I feel I'm finding ways to get good stuff even during a flare. My mom was the smoothie queen when I was little and sick, glad I learned from her :).
 
Since my re-section, the foods I eat have an effect on the frequency of bathroom trips :poo:

The last few weeks they have been greatly reduced since I started eating Grape Nuts cereal for breakfast. My BM are much closer to normal and I'm holding down food a lot better. That's a relief because I know my system is doing a better job at absorbing nutrients from food.

I pay attention to foods that cause discomfort and try to avoid them. The foods that seem to bother a lot of people - lettuce/veggies, fruits, coffee, dairy foods, nuts, potatos - do not bother me. I did notice that certain brands of condiments - like basalmic vinegar which I love on salad - will cause discomfort. I eventually found that the cause was imitation basalmic vinegar which is made from wine vinegar - I tried the real stuff and it doesn't bother me anymore. You have to read the ingredient labels. It takes some experimentation to find foods that your system can agree with.

The foods I have cut out entirely are spicy foods, fried food, and processed food. Tabasco is the limit in spicy and in moderation - no picante, no habernero, etc.

I have been gradually switching away from fried foods even before I had Crohns, and it's even worse with Crohns. Fatty foods is a mixed bag - fresh hamburgers are OK, but bacon is out.

Processed foods are just junk whether or not you have IBD - no hydrogenated anything, and no corn syrup products. Buy at farmer's markets whenever possible if you want to stay away from GMO foods. Frozen dinners are in moderation (they don't taste anywhere as good as fresh). If you want to minimize your intake of processed foods, then minimize the meals at restaurants especially national chains. I studied the ingredient list of a vat of "butter flavoring" in a restaurant and the top ingredient is transfat! Those pizzas you see in convenience stores - they are just frozen pizzas, not fresh at all.

I had to throw out a pie from a bakery because it caused a reaction - the wrong sugar (not just too much) can flare up a reaction.

There's a lot of imitation stuff out there that is just plain bad for your system, and most of it is found in the US. When I travel abroad - IE Germany - I have little problem with their food. Most of Europe refuses to import a lot of food from the US, especially GMO foods.
 
I am still enjoying my post-surgery honeymoon of health and eating plenty of high fibre foods no prob. glorious.

tonight dinner was awesome
homemade bison meatloaf
steamed cauli&broccoli with lots of butter
big salad of romaine, tomato, avacado, radish, olive oil&lemon

dessert- rice pudding made with black rich, coconut milk and raisins. yumyumyum
 
I just ate some cheese and a granny smith apple. Drinking a coffee now...was up last night with a sour stomach....hard to know if its a bug or Crohns.....
 
Just finished up a taco with very light spices. Washed it down with some homemade iced tea, my go to drink when milk is out of the picture and water is getting boring
 
Its good to have a stash of tea, I have a stash of tea for when I'm not feeling well, just put some hot water over it and add a little honey and ohh so yummy.. Haha that rhymed! :ylol:
 
Banana for brekkie,chicken sandwiche for lunch.Just about to juice carrots,beetroot,apple and ginger.Undecided whether to have banana,bio yog and honey with sprinkles from the health store or make a rice pudding with raisins in the slow cooker.
 
Eating a quick snack (dannon light & fit strawberry yogurt) before I do a dance workout. Then either home made chicken soup or tuna salad
 
So, just curious, does eating sweets (not overly indulgent portions) affect anyone here? I was just diagnosed a couple of weeks ago (age over 50), although I've had problems since 1995 and was probably misdiagnosed for years. I am still feeling my way along with foods, etc. and am on Cholestyramine for now. Not doing so well. Lots of nausea, pain, and constipation (I drink LOTS of water daily). Anyway, sorry to ramble on, it really seems to affect my tummy when I eat sweets. Can anyone tell me if they have had this issue? Thanks!
 
I can't really eat sweets or cakes. One or two bites and I'm done - in the restroom. I also drink 60-70 ounces of water daily. I tried the Cholestyramine - lots of bloating/pain plus I still had the nausea & pain. Still struggling with nausea/pain about 4-5 days a week - saving grace is I do have meds for these but wish I didn't have to take them, but until we can find out all that is wrong it is the only way I can keep some weight on - even though I keep loosing weight.

Good luck to you!!:ghug:
 
I am not sure WHAT I can eat right now...problems with my diabetes, trying to eat right for that messes with the crohns. If I eat foods that don't destroy my stomach, then my blood sugar goes haywire. Great for weight loss, horrible for everything else. Chicken and turkey seems to be the foods of choice...woohoo...
