I need to puree veggies for the most part before I can eat. Same with fruit. So I cooked some cherries after I pitted them in a crockpot for 6 hours and then ran it in my Ninja blender. Pure Cherry goodness. I am eating it on ice cream, in milk, on cottage cheese, and on my Eggo. Trying to get my servings of fruit and Veg each day.
I get the impression you have a digestive problem. Glad to see you are on to it. Cherries must be one of the best. Also, I think rhubarb if you can handle it!
@30pics4jackiesdiamond I used the whole bag I bought. It is a one-quart crockpot I used for this and it was full. I have done the same with Strawberries and mixed berries. Only I have to strain more because of the seeds. Who would think those tiny seeds could block my bowel but they gang together and do that? I am learning to figure things out.
@maggiemae Yes I have a partially blocked bowel from radiation treatment for my cancer. You can't operate on that because it would only make it worse. Some day I may need a bag. The doctors who helped figure out what it was that was giving me so much pain were useless once they told me what was wrong. I have had to figure out on my own what I can and can't eat. A lot of it has to do if my system is clear or not. Also What food I can eat in what condition? It also triggered a dairy problem and don't say eat lactose-free because that doesn't work, and I have reflux. And I haven't found any groups on the same problem though it is similar to other digestion problems. I have just figured things out on my own. These two things the last couple of days are the newest things I have figured out. It is hard to eat out. I used to complain about the lack of veggies now I can't eat them. I have found if I deseed and remove the skin on cukes and tomatoes I can eat them. I make a tiny salad. When I get back from vacation I am going to try to add shredded lettuce. As I said it is a matter of knowing that I can eat these things when my system is clear. If I get a blockage the pain is horrible and I usually end up throwing up and having diarrhea as my system attempts to clean itself. So this is to be avoided. Aren't you sorry you mentioned it.
Oh that sounds like a lot of work. We bought some fresh bilberry juice here in Finland, they're like small wild blueberries. We thought the tub contained yogurt, so we were pleasantly surprised!
I can sympathize. I've tried really hard to stay on the auto immune protocol as close to 100% as possible. Switching out so many things I love for alternatives has brought me on a similar path. I've come to love vegans and all their "plant-based" alternatives. True, they don't taste as good as real dairy, or real flour-based pastas, but at least I've been able to cook again using them! But unlike your dilemma, there are cookbooks and websites out there with AIP help when I get desperate for something different. So glad you're able to figure these things out though- maybe you should start a website!!
Wonderful shot! I am sorry you are not well, I understand living with food restrictions too, I go by the FODMAP food list and portions. So many foods are off my diet too, cherries, apples, bananas, watermelon, and many more. I also peel and deseed my tomatoes and cucumbers.
They have free Low FODMAP Apps online. Plus there are lots of printable online too. I hope this may help a little.
Do you need dietary supplements?
