Coconut oil is a highly digestible fat because it's mostly medium-chain

triglycerides, and almost entirely saturated, and as it's so saturated it's

very stable and therefore a good oil for sauteing and frying. You do have

to be aware of the heat tolerance of the food you're frying, though, as its

own lipids could be vulnerable to oxidation, and deep frying is

unfortunately never good because it's just too hot.

Coconut oil is used for babies with Cystic Fibrosis

because it is SO digestible. Yes, it makes a

difference! The MCT in coconut oil does not

need bile to digest (and you are possibly low on

bile or enzymes if you have all these problems). The

Medium Chain Triglycerides go straight into the

bloodstream, no digestion needed.

I also find that eating kimchi with a meal makes

it so much more digestible. I keep trying to go

without my kimchi (I think I overdo it), and have

some meal with no kimchi, and it just " sits there "

feeling heavy til I eat some kimchi. It is decidedly

addictive. Not that I've had any bad effects from it,

I just don't want to eat is so much I get sick of it.

a, don't forget the RAW egg yolks with the lightly cooked egg whites plus

cheese and tomato added after cooking.

Hope it agrees with you as well as it does me.

You guys are wonderful;)

A few comments on your suggestions~

Robin - The sausage/veggie stir fry sounds yummy - but

I've got to be careful with sausage. Anything too

greasy goes through the pipes too slowly, if you know

what I mean. Yes, I know about Jerusalem Artichokes

and candida, however, I am less than sure that they do

in fact control symptoms. It's the FOS in the 'chokes

that is supposed to offer relief, but I've always

found them to cause excess gas in people that are

prone - and boy am I prone. My prob is that the gas

can't escape...it sits there like a brick in my gut.

Thanks for your suggestions - hmmm, even an egg and

veggie stir fry sounds good. Can't believe I didn't

think of that!

Irene - Oh yes, I've done the leftovers for breakfast

many MANY mornings. However, now I've started to have

leftovers for lunch so it's super boring to eat the

same thing for dinner and then the next morning AND

THEN the next afternoon! At that point, I'm just ready

to gag, you know! I'm thinking, though, that an idea

might be to make a big ol' pasture raised chicken and

come up with loads of dishes to make out it so I can

have something different for breakfast, lunch and

dinner. So yeah, I'm definitely not adverse to eating

*non breakfast* foods in the AM.

Heidi - Again, fried food + me = blech. I've never

tried to fry anything in coconut oil (I've only used

it for light stir fries and in milk form) so maybe

that might make a difference??? What do you think?

It's not only gluten that causes trouble...it seems to

be most grains altogether. Like, I can get away with

quinoa and millet, but anything else has the

possibility of ruining my day. No fun:(

Oh, and someone said something about doing egg

whites/tomatoes/cheese - a gentleman I think (???) -

mmmmm, that sounds yummy. I'm gonna have to try that

one for sure!

Thanks again, and feel free to keep the ideas coming!

The more the better, right?!
