I use the Beano pills. Were you using the drops? They don't sell the drops around here!
Seriously, steamed/mashed & pureed, certain notoriously terrifying foods for IBS'ers are painless. YES, even broccoli (with Beano pills). It has the consistency of mashed potatoes in case you are wondering. Alot of the time, I just use one of those Braun handblenders for a quick job.
Yes, Shell, now you can really laugh, but in this form, when I'm stable, I can devour an entire broccoli, although first thing in the a.m., maybe just one crown. Unless I'm positively ravenous, though, more than 2 crowns is a stretch. I have, though, on positively beyond hungry days consumed 3 crowns, but that is quite rare. For some strange reason, the stalks still bug my butt, so I just use the crowns, or the "trees." However, celery, no matter what KILLS me & I guess the stalk is kind of the celery-like part of the broccoli.
AND YES...I can & have eaten a whole small cauliflower when stable without a problem. BUT if it is not whipped, it whips me.
Okay, enough illicit confessions for today.
Kate.
