What did you eat today?

I also had a banana and yogurt this morning. Haha something in the air.
I did another big prep day yesterday - baked salmon, boiled and pureed butternut squash and spinach/kale mix, hardboiled eggs. I'll probably cook some beef patties later today to have around.
I've been a little busier lately, so figuring out when to cook has been more of a strain...But having food ready makes everything so much better. I don't think most folks realize the extra mental energy it takes to live with chronic illness.

I no longer eat meat,I just don't enjoy it like I used to.I'm not that keen on Chicken either.The stuff I had at lunchtime was frozen cooked chicken strips,then only a little bit.
The almost veggie stage I'm at just evolved over 18 months.

Hello, I am new to the group. I had saltines and chicken broth today. I was discharged out the hospital 5 days ago and started on prednisone, which I thought would increase my appetite, but I am scared to eat. This last flare up was really painful and I CAN NOT afford to be sick again. So I don't know if it's a mental thing, with the loss of appetite or not.
I tried to eat more but get nauseated at the thought of anything other than broth.

Ya I'm still in the hospital and know what you mean about nausea. I would just take one bite only that is what I have done. One bite of cheese or potatoes or rice or fish and say that's ok. Now I'm up to three bites. Slow but steady.

For me, carbohydrates make my Crohn's act up the least, it's weird. So for breakfast I had pasta with cottage cheese and for lunch I had a ham sandwich with cheese and honey mustard on Italian white bread.

Another thing though, people with Crohn's are always saying eat a lot of snacks instead of one big meal, but what do they mean by a SNACK. Do they mean whatever meal you are going to be eating but in tiny portions throughout a specific amount of time, just pieces of fruit or cheese sticks every now and then, or something else? And how MUCH are you supposed to eat to consider it a "snack"?

I've had Crohn's for three years now and I still can't figure this out, maybe it's because I'm 18, or something else. :confused2:
 
GI Jane

Well for the snack they brought me in the hospital was apple sauce and cheese stick. They like to combine a fruit and a protein. Couple tablespoons of tuna salad and four crackers. A half banana and couple tablespoons peanut butter. Or an Ensure.

I eat raw nuts and seeds daily,chewed to a pulp of course.Mostly almonds and walnuts.I was Dx'd borderline diabetic 18 months ago and research indicated a handful of walnuts would help.And it did.Last year my test was normal.I've always enjoyed nuts but too many make me ill.
 
GI Jane

GI Jane

My mom has always insisted we refrigerate them or they go rancid. From a medical web site forget which one closed screen.

Walnuts are high in allergen and these allergens are both good and bad for us. They are good in the sense that the antibodies present in allergens stimulate the white blood cells to produce histamine in our body. Histamine is an organic compound that functions as a part of the immune system and dilates blood vessels, regulates physiological function of guts, and acts as a neurotransmitter.

They are bad because high level of allergens/histamine can worsen the condition of diarrhea and give rise to allergic reactions like nausea, stomach pain, and diarrhea. It is important to note that these side effects triggers when we eat too many walnuts and it is safe to eat walnuts in small quantity.

Sure wish they would have stated what is small quantities. I usually only eat them in oatmeal or with corn flakes so pretty safe I believe. Very interesting about the diabetes since my daughter has diabetes I will pass that on to her.

I always keep nuts in the fridge and make sure I eat them before the use-by date,which isn't hard.It's best not to buy big bags.I think a portion equals that which will fit in the palm of your hand or 13 halves.

My issue is I can't stop eating I'm hungry all the time I'm not putting bad things in my body but I'm just eating constantly, is this part of the prednisone? I already know that it puts weight on you and make sure swell up obviously it makes you eat! I'm on 15 mg I've got three more weeks of this crap and and then I am going to sew my mouth shut LOL

Hey all,

I said I would share some smoothie recipes from my doc so here they are... There are also some extras included. This is all straight from my awesome GP who has a wife with IBD. He is really in the loop. He practices what he preaches and looks to be the figure of youth.

Subject: Re: Nutrition


Apologize for the late reply, it's been a crazy month! When it comes to using turmeric, to make a 2 L smoothie I use the amount of turmeric the size of my thumb, about two or three loony(canadian dollar coin approx 1''x1/8'') sized slices of ginger, and about 5 to 10 peppercorns freshly ground. Smoothies though are like art, just go with your preferences.

Turmeric


There seems to be no end to the benefit of turmeric (see the last link below), but the effect it has on colon polyps (the stage before colon cancer) is particularly impressive.


http://nutritionfacts.org/video/turmeric-curcumin-and-colon-cancer/


Inflammation


http://nutritionfacts.org/video/which-spices-fight-inflammation/

Osteoarthritis

http://nutritionfacts.org/video/turmeric-curcumin-and-osteoarthritis/

Turmeric is absorbed 2000% more effectively in the presence of ginger and black pepper.

http://nutritionfacts.org/video/boosting-the-bioavailability-of-curcumin/


http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/turmeric


Golden Banana Tahini Turmeric Shake

Spicy and sweet! We make this about once per week for dessert, it has a chai tea taste to it :)

Almond Milk - 1 cup, plain or vanilla
Frozen Banana X1
Medjool dates x2
Tahini - 1 tbsp
Vanilla extract - 1/4 tsp
Ground cardamom - 1/4 tsp
Turmeric - 1/4 tsp
Black pepper - 1/8 tsp
2 ice cubes (or frozen fruit...I like cherries)
I also slip in a little kale or spinach when I make it ;)

Recipes

When it comes to cooking I can make smoothies, salads, and soup (and a nice Pad Thai). It is my wife that does the majority of the actual cooking...these are her favourite recipe books (so far). I also included my smoothie recipe at the bottom as I consider it the healthiest thing I eat, and it is something I eat/drink almost everyday.

1. "Forks Over Knives"

This is the title of a 90 minute documentary available on Netflix and iTunes (well worth the watch). They also have an excellent website (with 300 recipes) and cookbook (all with great recipes).

http://www.forksoverknives.com/recipes/

I really liked this article (with meal plans) on eating healthy on a budget.

http://www.forksoverknives.com/healthy-food-on-tight-budget/?mc_cid=732abec1b3&mc_eid=cd801963b3

2. The "Oh she glows" cookbook by Angela Liddon

3. "Eat to Live Cookbook" by Dr Joel Fuhrman

I reviewed nutrition literature for about a year before I started making recommendations to patients. Dr Fuhrman's book "Eat to Live" was the book that really put it all together. It was easy to read, covered the research well, started each chapter with motivational success stories, and had a nutrition plan with recipes right in it. It is still the book I recommend for those looking for information on the use of nutrition to prevent and reverse disease. The cookbook is a great extension of the original book.

Salt

https://www.drfuhrman.com/lifestyle/eat-to-live-blog/5/add-flavor-not-salt?

http://nutritionfacts.org/video/high-blood-pressure-may-be-a-choice/

http://nutritionfacts.org/video/sprinkling-doubt-taking-sodium-skeptics-with-a-pinch-of-salt/

Reducing salt by a 1/2 teaspoon per day will reduce strokes by 22% and fatal heart attacks by 16% thus saving tens of thousands of lives in North America every year. Reducing salt is even more effective for saving lives than controlling blood pressure with medications.

http://nutritionfacts.org/video/salt-of-the-earth-sodium-and-plant-based-diets/

Blended Salads (aka "smoothies")

There are books of recipes written on this subject, but essentially anything can go in. I call mine blended salads because half of what I put in mine is leafy greens and sprouts. I have this as a least 1 meal per day (about 1.5L for me, just drink it until you are full), and consider it the healthiest meal of the day. These are some of the ingredients that frequently end up in mine, experiment with the ingredients to find a taste you like, but make sure to include as many greens as you can :)

I would use this recipe to make about 2L of smoothies.

Banana
Apple/orange/kiwi/pear/melon
Carrots and celery = as many as you like
Kale (usually several types) & Spinach & Sprouts = half the blender
Dates : for a sweetener (I use 4)
Seeds: chia, hemp hearts, & flax (keep in freezer) = 1 tbsp of each
Nuts: walnut, pecan, almond, cashew, etc = a few of each
Garlic: 1-2 cloves to personal taste
*crush first to activate the Allicin, then let sit for 5-10 minutes
Onion = small wedge or green onion to taste
Ginger = about 1 inch, to taste
Turmeric = 1 tsp or 1 inch if fresh
Mint = I like lots, to taste
Sea Vegetables (I use sheet of sushi paper, called Nori...good source of iodine)
White or green tea leaves
Frozen fruit* = any kind, especially berries, about 1-2 cups
*frozen fruit is just as healthy as fresh, perhaps even more, as it is picked at the peak of freshness
*put this in last otherwise it is really hard on your blender
Liquid base: water, almond milk, soy milk, and/or herbal tea

Food has been boring lately, and I am trying to make the bathroom scales go up rather than down so I bought myself some macaroni salad. I bought a little bit a week ago to experiment and I seem to be able to tolerate it, so I bought more. Is pasta okay, I recall spaghetti giving me cramps and grief. Not sure if its caused by pasta, the sauce or perhaps both?

I put a little bit more on my plate, about a half a cup of macaroni salad and it settled on my stomach ok. A bit of gas later on before supper but nothing bad. I had some cold chicken to go with it and a sliced up orange for desert.

Im lucky I can eat ground beef with no problem , can't seem to manage good thick steaks anymore , I would need to cut it into tiny pieces which takes the pleasure away , the last time I had steak it was like depth charges going off as they came through the stoma undigested ( sorry fot graphic detail)

After some very bad experiences I now associate beautiful delicious steaks as pain inducers. I eat a lot of chicken and my diet is quite boring as a result. Seems I can tolerate the macaroni salad in small quantities, but potato salad is a big no no for me.

For me the steaks are 2-3 in the morning pain inducers. Not worth it, too bad I love steak.
