Safe meal ideas?

So, I finally followed my moms input and listened to her. I know that veggies irritate my stomach, soda upsets my stomach, anything with seeds left in upsets my stomach. I gave up soda and such a long time ago. I simply can't handle it. Anyways she suggested cutting out veggies entirely until my tummy calmed down. I'm on day 9 and am finally not getting up to go during the night, not running to the bathroom all the time.

I'm going to start with a chicken soup tomorrow with very very very cooked veggies. I know that chicken soup doesn't really bother my stomach that much. I figure a stew after that with a bit more veggies in it. I simply cannot tolerate salad, or any raw greens, period. It tears through me. I can tolerate some fruits, if they are soft. I can eat broccoli in small ammounts if it's very very well cooked. I love asparagus, again it has to be well cooked. I also love split pea soup, and will probably have that soon.

What I'm looking for are ideas that could take the things I can eat together, and allow me to hopefully keep my tummy calmed down. I can't stand the smell of fish so thats out, but anything else is do-able, the cheaper the meal the better as we dont have much money for food. If it's slow cooked and soft it works better in my tummy too.

So any ideas anyone? I'm sure that I'm not the only one who could benefit from tummy friendly meal ideas.

Thanks,
Tammy

Lean protien! I like to take a frozen turkey breast, thaw it, put it in the crock pot all day and then eat. Very easy, very good for my tummy. Enough food for many days. Make some mashed potatoes. Then add some gravy (if your tummy can handle it) made from the turkey drippings in the crock pot.

Grilled chicken breat is another easy one. Cook veges into "oblivion" - give them the "fork" test - if they don't mash easily, cook some more.

For snacks, I like homemade rice crispy bars. The rice seems easy on the tummy.

Also - just a reminder - small, frequent meals work better than large meals!

Best of luck!

I cook the turkey very plainly - was never sure what (if any) seasonings would effect my guts. Just take the thawed, rinsed turkey breast and put it in the crock pot on low, all day. I don't add anything. As long as the lid fits, it will produce all of the moisture it needs. (I have a huge crock pot that I've used just for turkey breats! Although my medium sized one works just fine...) Basically, after a day in the crockpot while I'm at work, the turkey falls off the bone. It's so moist! My husband likes it this way - which is good since he doesn't like it cooked in the oven (not the way anyone does it) says it's too dry. I'm sure you could use a rub (or injection) of any sort - it would just season the drippings for the gravy.

Oh, and sometimes, if it's not thawed all the way, I'll still put it in.

It is totally strange how when I'm flaring I can eat Cheetos - but veges are OUT!

If you're looking for veggies, green beans are excellent and very digestable, cooked of course. I find avocados to be soothing. Asparagus works out well for me, well cooked, V8 juice generally works. It's important nutritionally to try to get some veggies into you, but it's hard when you're flaring. I miss brocolli, my former favorite veggie, but that and peppers I just cannot tolerate. Also onions are a poor choice.

also, i can tolerate eggs and the yolk has lots of nutrients.

well cooked carots

I forgot one thing.
For a snack, I eat Honeymaid Honey low fat grahm crackers.
I read somewhere a long time ago that grahm crackers are good on your colon. Don't know it that is true, but grahm crackers ALWAYS have soothed my stomachs. And I don't know if it is in my mind or not, but I swear that after eating them I tend to see improvements.
