I'm beginning to realize that the reality is I am going to be eating foods simply to stay alive and allow for healing and not so much for the taste. What's left for me to eat on intro is really going to be pretty much what I am eating on a regular basis. Hardly any difference at all. It seems that the more plain the food is, the better it sits with me. I'm not sure if you are able to tolerate all these ingredients, but here's a pureed carrot soup I posted a while ago that I think is really tasty with virgin coconut oil melted in it. It seems very nourishing and easy to digest to me since it's pureed, so if you think you might be able to tolerate everything you might try it for something different =)Carrot Soup (from Grain Free Foodies blog)Ingredients1 Tbsp. olive oil1 Tbsp. butter (or ghee)1 1/2 large onions, chopped2 lbs carrots, peeled and chopped1 inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and minced2 quarts (or more) homemade chicken broth2 tsp. ground corianderSalt to tastePepper to tasteChopped cilantro or parsley for garnishMethodSautee the onions, ginger and carrots in the fat until onions are translucent. Add coriander, salt and pepper. Stir for about a minute. Add chicken broth and cook until vegetables are very soft. Puree. Add more liquid, if necessary. This is good with coconut milk too, but I don't have any that's suitable on hand at the moment.You can leave out the coriander for the intro diet, if you are avoiding spices. You can also substitute the fat without worrying. Peace =)Alyssa 16 yo UC April 2008, dx Sept 2008SCD June 2009 (restarted)Azathioprine 75 mg 1x per dayPrednisone 30 mg 1x per day
