Re: insolubles       06/09/05 09:34 AM Edit Reply Quote lalala Reged: 02/14/05 Posts: 2634 Hi, Beth! How about sticking to insolubles that you can mash, which, as Heather explained, would retain the IF but be mechanically broken down and make it easier to digest? For example, couldn't you puree beans and/or lentils in a blender, make fruit smoothies with bananas and your favorite fruits, like nectarines or blueberries--peels intact, or try small amounts of nut or seed butter? Sometimes I like to make a really simple fruit salad, which I eat after an SF meal, made with sliced bananas and pineapple tidbits, sometimes chopped apples without the skin. (I'm just throwing out ideas. I'm not exactly sure what foods bother you the most, and I apologize for suggesting anything that might make you sick.) With zucchini, maybe you can cook the slices with the peel intact, I believe this would still retain the IF, and then slightly mash it? I like cooking zucchini with mushrooms; I find their flavors blend really well together. However, except for the skin, isn't zucchini mostly SF because it's a squash? Usually, I check what's on Heather's IF list (from the cheat sheet) and just either cook the food item (usually IF vegetables) until mushy or if it's something I don't have to cook, I chop it finely or puree it. Also, even if the food is mushy or chopped, I still chew it well, which breaks it down even more for easier digestion. Yes, this makes me a slow eater--I'm usually the last one to leave the dinner table, but it also makes meals more enjoyable because I can savor the taste of the food. I hope this helps at least a little bit. I know I'm not IBS-C, but it's important for me eat more IF as well. I'm still experimenting and trying to get more variety in my diet, so if you have any other tips I'd be happy to hear them! Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
