What foods do you miss?

[Sucane1]

I found out I have crohns this past January and boy had my diet changed. I used to exercise so I could enjoy certain foods without guilt and now I really miss them.

I miss cheeseburgers, French fries, super spicy buffalo wings, prime rib (my favorite)! I hope I'll be able to eat these agin someday.

What foods do you all miss?

Red meat in general! Even after my resection I cant tolerate red meat! This past weekend I thought I would try steak for the first time since the resection. Man did I pay for it. I was having flashback to the day I ended up in the hospital. My insides cramped beyond belief, it felt like an obstruction! After a couple of hours the pain subsided. I think I'll just stay away from it!

I miss many of my favorites, big juicy steaks, large tossed salads, huge pizzas fully loaded, pop corn, big visits to Mc Donalds Cottage cheese and all the booze I used to enjoy. The list is too long and I don't want to burden anyone with a long post. But I think most of you get the idea, life is pretty bland when one lives with the scourge.

I miss a lot of Mexican food. I miss apples because since my resection I can't eat the skin off of foods. I miss salads because I can't eat raw vegetables. I miss green vegetables.

I have always been more into cheesy, creamy foods more than desserts. And i hugely miss italian and mexican foods. Lasagne, dominos, cheesy chips, tacos, quesadillas etc. Anything cheesy. I started thoroughly enjoying veggies (love a brussel sprout and tenderstem broccoli) so i also miss that. When its summer i do miss ice cream, but i can live with that. Cheese and milky products that i used to have (and actually taste and melt like cheese) is really soul destroying.
Anyone tried lactic supplements and eat forbidden foods easily? Anyone done so with strictures in TI?

I eat dairy products made with almond milk or coconut milk.

All of them.

The first trigger I discovered (and the one I still miss the most) is tomatoes. They absolutely ruin me. I'd never been much of a pizza or pasta fan (I'm not a cheese eater) but I wish I could have some now! Tomato soup was always my comfort food, too. Now I don't really have a replacement, and most soup and chili and curry recipes include tomatoes - it's a real pain to find one that looks good that doesn't. Still, I live in hope that one day I'll be in remission and be able to enjoy a little bit of tomato-based food every so often.

I don't miss the spicy foods I had to cut out, but I do crave pepperoni sometimes.

 

[user 413287]

The only things I can really eat and not have them bother me are scrambled eggs,chicken just not fried,Hamburg,Toast and one piece of cheese per day if I have no other dairy so that leaves a lot of other stuff I can't have.The 1st half of this year has been poor for me health wise(actually the last 2 decades have been) and I needed some yardwork done and my AC put in so I had some buddies do it and I offered to buy their food and boy these dudes can eat they had pizza,subs,buffalo wings,garlic bread,mozzarella sticks,ice cream and donuts.I usually avoid being around these types of foods seeing I can't eat them so this was overload.

I used to eat everything in sight. I had the stomach of a goat. I miss prime rib steak, salami, pizza, chicken wings... you name it. I feel better now without it though.

 

[gatheryerosebuds]

Pizza, dairy, and eating food after 7pm are the biggest things that I miss. Also, barbecued ribs. On the flip side, I've discovered that Crohn's and I both really love Skippy's creamy peanut-butter!

 

[cmack]

The peanut butter sometimes half way kills me. It tastes great!

 

[Scifimom]

Popcorn, Watermelon, peaches, oranges, apples, strawberies, mushrooms, cherries, grapes, Coffee OMG Coffee!!!!. Walnuts almonds pecans, Green vegies (I so miss a tuna letuce salad) Leeks, Spicy cabbage cooked with pork, broad beans, lentiles.

I live in a country where mediterranean died is our everyday diet and where fruits and veggies are cheap and accesible for everyone and I survive mostly on pasta rice potatoes meat fish and chicken

Ice cream! I don't crave it that often, but sometimes it looks sooo yummy. Tried a few spoonfuls a month or so ago...not good. oo:
