Hi JennK.
I remember your picture. Welcome back!
I've always sworn by soup, ever since Day One on the program. In fact, soup was a lifesaver for me, because it was the only way I could get any veggies down me safely. However, it was home-made soup, using my own stock, which of course was totally fat-free.
Also, I've never had a problem with bagels except for their size -- too much food at one sitting -- so I just ate a half.
I've kept a food journal for over 3 years and discovered my triggers. One thing I found was I was able to eat things that I wasn't able to eat before. I can even have coffee now! However, my living situation changed, such that I am not under any kind of stress anymore, which was tearing my stomach apart 3 years ago. I've been stable for quite awhile now.
I don't have attacks very often, but when I do, it's usually because of some new antibiotic I've been put on or too much calcium supplement, very seldom food. The one trigger that I have to watch is portion control. If I eat more than I should, I'll get an attack.
Did I answer your question, or am I just rambling again?
Oh yeah -- "weakness for egg yolk." Well, sometimes I'll get a little rumbly tummy after a fried egg, but otherwise I'm good to go. I usually have "Egg Beaters," but there are times when they just don't cut it like a nice fried egg, ya know?
No, I don't believe the rules have changed. I just think, once you're stable, you find you can tolerate a few things that you couldn't before. That's been the case with me and a few others here. "Venturing out of what I know to be ok" is scary, but what a joy for me when I discovered I can tolerate dead cow carcass! I'm eating burgers all the time, and loving 'em!
Welcome back, JennK.
