Yah.

On a pain scale of 1 to 10, I rate those cramps about a 12...

Before I learned more about the condition, it happened fairly regularly
and now it's rare.

But when it does, I nearly black out from the pain.

I was just sharing one of my secret weapons. ;-)

And it's only about 99 cents per bottle at the pharmacy.

Cheers!

Not at all, ever! I will go out of my way to avoid chocolate. I don't
even like the looks of it! The smell is enough to bring on waves of
nausea. It is horrid, wicked stuff not even fit to be called a food
item in my books!

Parsnips are a relatively new to us food not that they weren't available
just I didn't want to try them given the copious amount of negative
comments I've heard about them. I finally gave them a try a couple
years back and was pleasantly surprised. They are very good in soups
and stews! I'm not fond of turnips but DH likes them so I will eat
them. Asparagus and oysters are no problem but I don't think I would
like raw oysters. One of these days I might try some just to see. DH
loves scallops as well even the sweet & sour breaded things from a local
Chinese restaurant. I like scallops but not with all that gunk on them.

I don't like jelly as a sandwich topping but then I'm not a big sandwich
eater. However, hot pepper jelly is awesome topping cream cheese and
crackers for a really easy to make appetizer. Mint jelly is great for
lamb and port wine jelly is a must for pork. Apple jelly is great with
a few meats. I make a fair amount of jellies most of them destined to
be used in cooking or as condiments rather than as spreds.

Parsnips are wonderful roasted

in my case it is (sweet)corn, I don't understand what it is supposed to
be, veg or fruit.

You know, I'm lactose intolerant too. I was fortunate enough to have a
mom who did not force me to eat those foods I didn't like. Milk and
chocolate were two of those foods I refused to eat for any reason. She
insisted that kids would naturally choose the foods that they could
tolerate and I really believe that. Milk is bad enough for me that only
a little bit of milk products in something like salad dressing will send
my body out of kilter. Too many people fail to listen to what their
body is telling them then complain when their body kicks back. I
believe in listening to my body and it tells me milk and chocolate are
two things it will not tolerate. Red wine does a number too afer only a
sip so I stay away from it other than cooking with red wine that doesn't
contain sulfites. I as well as a couple of our kids are very, very
sensitive to sulfites.

Kili, I have a couple of recipes for homemade beef baloney. Looking at
the ingredients, I might try it. I wouldn't touch commercial hot dogs
or baloney for anything. Hot dogs give one DS an instant headache - not
the ordinary kind - the dizzy, throwing up, wish you were dead kind. We
found that out when his grandparents unknowingly gave him a raw wiener
when he was about a year old. The only other thing I saw that would
trigger almost as strong as a response in him was white sugar. To this
day, and he is an adult now, he will not eat hot dogs, lunchmeat, or
white sugar. In fact, as a family, we eat very little white sugar.

You hit the things I couldn't live without with the exception of
eggplant. I think that is more so that I haven't found a way to cook
eggplant well. I do love the look of eggplant just I can't cook it well.

My sister in law and one of her daughters both suffer from colitis. SiL was
visiting once and going through a bout of it. I suggested that she try some
kefar that I happened to have. It is a fermented milk product. The fermentation
process eats all the lactose and there is a bacteria that helps to restore the
intestinal flora. She gave it a try and was impressed with the results. It is
not cheap to buy, but you can get the crystals and make it yourself at home.

I have to admit that it has a strange smell to it, but it tastes like yoghurt
that has been watered down with soda water.

They are pretty slimy looking, and some people have an aversion to eating
things that are still alive when they hit their stomach. Give them a dash
of lemon juice and or hot sauce and let them slide right down. I find them
to be like a tonic.

I always used to like deep fried scallops, but then I discovered that is
about the worst way to cook them. I like to dip them in a mixture of cream
and prepared mustard and then roll them in bread crumbs, stick them on a
skewer and broil them. I also make the occasional batch of Coquilles
St.Jacques.

Hey I hear you on this one, homemade cream of mushroom soup is far
superior to canned. We don't eat canned cream of mushroom soup -
haven't figured out how to homecan this yet - as soup but it does make a
nice sauce for some things. As soup, it is gross.

Are you suggesting that the Navy cooks who were the last people to

Very possible, although a certain theme you may have noticed among many
members of my list is that I tend to be somewhat sensitive to
bitterness. (I'll note that I like coffee as little as I do beer.)
I'm sure fresh olives would be better, but I'm skeptical that they'd
ever be a food that I'd love.

Which is of course why I've always hated deviled eggs and egg salad. I
have some rather unpleasant memories of my childhood from when we'd
have egg salad (which the rest of my family loves) for dinner, taking
the smallest amount that I could get away with, and having to literally
choke down my dinner. The deviled eggs, on the other hand, are kind of
amusing. I actually make pretty good deviled eggs, or at least so I've
been told. It's always a bit funny when I bring them to a pot luck,
where I have to assure everyone that despite the fact that *I* wouldn't
dream of eating one, they really should give them a try.

I sometimes wonder if some of these intestinal ailments are connected to each other. I
don't have it as bad as some people. I can tolerate small amounts on cereal. I also
find that I can handle the higher fat stuff. It seems that with milk you get high
lactose or high fat, so I use homo milk on my cereal, and I use that, along with
whipping cream to make my ice cream. As much as I like the ice cream I only have it at
the most once a week, and only a little at a time. I discovered Lactaid a few years
ago and find that popping a few of those before a lot of dairy food prevents a bad
reaction.

My system reacts very badly to citrus fruits. No oranges or grapefruit for me, and no
lemonade or limeade:-( I avoid milk chocolate, but I can handle small amounts of
bittersweet.

Sulphites in any form go right through me. I learned a long time ago not to have any
lettuce at a salad bar.

And Chinese food....... MSG...... My Sore Guts. :-(

I had this discussion with my younger sister a couple years ago: Sweet corn
is a GRAIN, although it's generally treated as a vegetable. Just like tomato
is a FRUIT which gets treated like a vegetable.

There are plenty of other vegetables with natural sugars, and they're often
treated in such a way as to emphasize those sugars: Caramelized onions and
carrots spring to mind. And let's not forget the yams and sweet potatoes.
Purple yam is sweet enough to be cooked and eaten plain as a dessert in the
Philippines. Sweetened azuki beans are common as the basis for desserts,
e.g., red bean ice cream.

I had no use to olives until one day in my youth when I had herbally induced munchies and
gave them an honest try and found them to be quite tasty. I used to get spiced olives
from a local deli that added pressed garlic, dried chilli flakes and chopped up the ends
of salami and other cold cuts. I was disappointed one day when I went to pick up my olive
fix and found the store had closed.

Perhaps because the whites were mashed up enough? I find it more palatable if totally
mashed up and no chunks of white. It also needs good mayo.

:P~~~ Things work out surprisingly well, actually.

He eats caraway and the dreaded fennel (even those loathesome "Turkish
Pepper" candies -- hard, black, salted licorice on the outside, some
revoltingly spicy liquid on the inside), and I don't. And, even as a
caraway-seed despiser, I'll take a good reuben -- just on Orowheat's Dill
Rye bread (do they still make that? The dill seemed to make the few caraway
seeds tolerable ).

Now, me being a morning person and him being a *serious* night person is
much more problematic. And don't get me started on the snoring.

Personally, I think some can tolerate certain foods while others can't.
The problem is few people listen to their bodies and parents force
foods onto kid who *naturally* will avoid foods that bother them.
Because of this *clean your plate* ideal, kids are forced to eat those
foods that really bother them whether through allergy or sensitivity.
There is a difference but either way the outcome is the same. Parents
need to *listen* when their child says they don't like a certain food.
The reason they don't like that food is it may bring on any number of
negative symptoms maybe not life threatening but enough the kid just
can't handle it. I suffer from food allergies and sensitivities. For
that reason, I was attuned to my kids reactions as they were growing up
and never forced them to eat anything they didn't want to. OTOH, food
offered was generally organic, homemade, free of white sugar & flour,
and preservative free. I often wonder if many are just starting to
react to the preservatives? Anyway, as a parent I listened and it has
paid off.

My body tolerates citrus well but absolutely no milk. Hidden milk is a
real problem as you can find it in gravy and salad dressing. Lactaid is
a true blessing as are digestive enzymes. I take both when travelling
but I figure my body by design just can't handle lactose so I avoid it
wherever possible. There is no point giving it a load it can't handle
and it just might make it worse.

I hate that! I love salad bars because I can go veggie all the way
without having to worry about milk products with the exception of some
dressings. Then they added the sulphites

I can't comment on MSG as we very seldom eat Chinese food prepared other
than at home. I don't use MSG in anything I make. Does it really make
you feel like the lactose thing? If so, that is horrible!

I was reading a book on the science of food the other day, and it turns
out that "bloodiness" in a rare steak is not actually blood, but myoglobin.

tnederloin is very nice, but when it comes to steaks, I prefer bone-in
ribeye. The fat and bone give it a wonderful flavor, and them meat is
relatively tender, as well.

You have never seen one of my diatribes against olive oil? I have
written how i can not abide the stuff, but unfortunately i seem to be
coming around, i still dislike it for salad dressing and god forbid you
should 'pop' corn in it. But i have recently had a few dishes that used
it well.

"Well" in that it was not an obvious flavour but the dish would have
been different if it had not been used.

I have no allergies to to crab, oysters etc. However when I had a
dye coursing in my veins I found out that seafood is a possible no no
when undergoing a heart cath. If you notice effects as described I'd
speak to your doctor about acknowledging the potential.

Hope you never know what a cath is!

oh man, kefir is great! (if you like yogurt-y things at least). I drank
tons of it the last time I was on antibiotics.

<snort> Fine, go all scientific on us and ruin out "bloody raw rare"
meat! <lol>

Lately I've been buying eye of round, cubing it RAW and placing in in a
container to marinate with a little bit of Bragg's liquid aminos.

Not sure why I've been craving raw meat, but it's getting so I'd rather
not eat beef any other way now.

But it has to be fresh, and very lean!

I thawed an eye of round out the other day and 3 days later still had
not gotten around to cubing it. It had not spoiled but I did not want to
chance eating it raw.

I made up a teryaki marinade and sliced up the whole thing very thin.
Marinated it over night, then placed it into the dehydrator for 2 days
until it was actually a bit crispy.

Best damed jerky I ever made, but at $2.89 per lb., a bit steep. :-P

I guess tho' that jerky is technically raw meat?

I hate extra virgin olive oil. I get the mildest stuff available.
Nice on salads.

More bang for the buck tho'.
Kefir and yogurt have 1, maybe 2 organisms.
A good probiotic provides a better balance.

And there are as many bacteria in one capsule as there are in a gallon
of yogurt!

Or more...

And if you are low carbing like I am, you don't have to deal with the
sugar calories from lactose, or added sugars that are in most fruity
yogurts.
