Salads

Congratulations on the salads...that is a big step forward...but why on earth would you want to fry a brussel sprout??? Poor little thing!

They digest easy and good!

Re brussel sprouts: to avoid the clean-up involved in frying, toss in a little olive oil and add a touch of salt, then spread on a cookie sheet and put in oven at 400 degrees for 40 minutes. Crisp on outside, tender inside. (I wonder if this post will be deleted as being off topic?)

Not off topic

I make kale chips in a dehydrator. Brussels I had at brunch since my mom had it in a salad. Thought what they heck, I'll try them since krispy kale I can eat.

Nuts? I love nuts, but find they give me gas - thus causing me to intubate every 3 or 4 hours. Anyone else get these results?

I eat bags of pistashios with no real issues.

I do fine with nuts, nut butters and seeds (pumpkin, not sunflower...they get blocked in the tube)...no gas either but then again I eat them on their own without other possible gas producing contaminants...I can handle just about anything if I avoid bread products and dairy...salads within reason and I need to chew them up well.
Been thinking about going back to my high protien/low carb diet that is very pouch friendly...and gas friendly too.

I ate a whole baked apple in a sugar free dumpling. That was a first.

Yum...hope that it went through you ok...have you tried eating oatmeal? It really slows me down...I know that it isn't on the paleo diet but being that your guts have a mind of their own and that things seem to be taking a high speed train through your body...you may need to consider 'thickening foods' to help your body hang onto stuff a bit longer or you are going to become severely malnourished.

You would think! I am really overweight. I have put on 20 pounds since I had surgery. My doctor said I am SUPER absorbent lol

yay. not.

Oatmeal doesn't thicken me up too much. Fiber like that does the opposite to me. Makes me go! If I eat popcorn, forget it, I poop forever.
