If you decide to try lentils (although legumes are usually an advanced

food, and may not be a good idea this soon after your flare), I would go

with the split red lentils, and then soak them for about eight hours,

toss the soak water, rinse, and then cook them in whatever -- broth,

tomato juice, etc.

Can you handle fats at this point in time? If so, you can add extra

healthy fats to everything to increase your calories.

Another idea is "banana cake"You basically make banana pancakes ut put it in a caserole dish. Take equal number of bananas to eggs, blend, then pour into caserole dish and bake until it's brown. You can cut into squares and freeze then take one out whenever you want it. Plus, it doesn't stick to the pan so easy cleanup.

Thanks, . I tolerate most fruits and veggies fine, including avocado.

I am not traveling, so I don't have to worry about carrying things.

Andy,Can you handle nut butter? That is another one that is good for calories. You can actually toss a bit of it in a smoothie and never taste it. Coconut oil is another good one to put into smoothies for added calories. Someone posted a really good smoothie recipe with 1 medium ripe avocado, 1 1/2 cups fresh pineapple (could get away with canned if in its own juice), 1/1/2 cups orange juice 1 tbsp honey 2 tsp lime juice and 1/4 tsp coconut flavoring. It is really filling. You can also use yogurt to make a kind of cheese that is just like paneer. You will need to heat on a very low heat a quantity of yogurt (you will loose about 1/2 the volume) for about 1 hour until the yogurt separates -- very low heat is important. Then cool and strain, then drip

from muslin and finish as normal. You can make blended soups and add a bit of nut butter there (or in curry sauces) as well for added fats and protein.AmeliaTo: BTVC-SCD Sent: Sun, March 21, 2010 4:13:27 PMSubject: Vegetarian SCD

Hi-

I need to go on a vegetarian SCD (yogurt ok, but no eggs/meat/poultry/ fish) for four days this week for religious reasons of my mother and remembrance of my dad, who passed away last year this time.

Can someone please give suggestions on how I do this. I do not have time to cook all day -- going to be busy work week.

I can do yogurt-fruit smoothies, vegetable curry/soup, and almond milk. But there's not enough protein or calories in this. I have not tried lentils or beans yet -- that's one option.

Do you think I'll be ok doing this for four days without losing energy?

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Andy.

Hi Andy,

You can put a hand full of nuts, or some

nut butter, or some tahini on an avocado with

vegetables, or just on vegetables. It’s

quite filling and satisfying. If you put butternut squash in the mix, even better. I also like nuts and raisins mixed with

yogurt.
