Nope. :( I have Celiac Disease and antibodies to Casein. Unfortunately it's with me until I die, like diabetes! Yay!

Oh well...

Good yogurt though!!

I do so feel for you. while I didnt have celiac I do have IBS. from the time I was 2 I have had ulcerative mucosial colitis.I know when my colitis acts up its so limiting on food.
For me, of all things I need salads and vinegar to stop the spasms and the bleeding and pain.

I ahve always wanted to cook with flaxseed but never found a good flour that didnt spoil quickly.
I did find nut flour to be workable. goinf more vegetarian than meat lately has been interesting......

I hear you. Potato flour, rice flour, and etc. work well. Glutino makes an excellent gluten free bread that is all corn based. VERY tasty! I'm not sure if gluten free products help you, but some with IBS find they do. I find that I feel better when I eat mostly vegetarian, but I do like my steak now and then! ;)

Have you tried using beans for Taco fillings and casseroles?

Oh. bans how I lve them but I cant control my blood levels if I eat them. I wond up taking a continuois series of shots of R to bring me ddown. We did an in office test and I was at BG of 97. A great start. I had to teaspoons of cooked plain beans. No additives and I shot up to over 300. And stayed there for over four hours before it came down to 180s.......

now a potato has no effect.
Rice is negligable.
bread..w e found abread with double fiber which keeps me low. But I choke on bread.

Toda we decided after I " got stuck" on a piece of burger to go lacto ovo veggie for me for a while.

Gastricpareisis seems to be a bedfellow with the IBS.

Oooo...Gastro is no fun. I don't have it myself, but I know it's horrible. I guess you need to eat LESS fibre and not more! I like eggs a lot, I eat omelets with veggies quite often. If you need to watch choloesterol, you can use Egg Beaters. I have heard they taste just as good...but are 2x as expensive! :eek:

I like to use Omega 3 eggs, but I have to fight with my fiance to get them! We go shopping together, and I have to sneek them in the cart when he's not looking! LOL! Too much $$$! I say, you can't put a price on health!

What do you eat on a typical day? Do you drink a lot of shakes?

[jimmys devoted]

Coffee or hot tea. with a bit of 1/2 n 1/2 and a teaspoon of sugar............

then somewhere after a few hours a piece of fruit and some cheese, or some jerkey, a small salad and iced tea or iced waterw it lemon. I am really not a big eater. I dislike soda and I hardly drink milk or fruit juices. This snack is what I will have during the day,

dinner is ususally a test...... often always I have a salad with some cheese or if I remmber a hardboiled egg in it.

Chinese food, fried rice with itty bitty chunks of meat in it go down easiest. I llove soups. So thats a saving grace.
It could be a potroast with veggies, which i ussually just eat the carrot, soup/broth and celery.

if we have turkey( fresh) I get stuck so easily. Ssandwiches of any type are a fear factor show........

when we eat out I stick with childrens portions or go to thebiffet and take itty bitty amounts.

fiber doesnt bother me. I can eat oodles of it. Bread seems to be a major killer it absorbs every bit of liquid.........

Now as to shakes.. I love the slimfast shakes. theyahve teh best taste. But I only use the powder. When I get stuck for days on end, liquid diets are the only thing I can have.
So a slimfast shake with an egg droppedin it and two tabelespoons of 1/2 n 1/2 after the whole shebang has been mixed together. I can live on this during teh summer and I feel fine, during the winter though when I live on shakes I get cold to the core.

I found yogurts make me binge eat.. i am always hungry all day long, as with cereal. Bt a piece of fruit with the Vanilla is great.

snacks are fruits, nuts, Halvah,cheese, salad, soups.
If I do drink milk I trty to but the high protein milk from HOOD dairy.
so my diet is minerally complete and a lot smaller than many expect. Even bumfuzzled my doctor when she did an anylisis.... shes like you shoudl weight nothing with what you eat......
I have that metabolisim that when you dont eat it stores what little you do eat.........
