(specific carbohidrate diet) The diet itself isn't terrible, but i've
had a lot of trouble getting used to pureyed food. The 2 times i made my
large batch of chicken soup i pureyed everything including the
chicken.....Blek, terrible. The pureyed chicken made me gag horribley.
Next time i make the soup i'll pass on pureying the chicken and just cut
it fine.
Chris suggested i try pureying a brocoli carrot coliflower mix and add
my favorite cheeses and skip pureying the meat. This creation came out
perfectly. Though, next time i wont microwave the vegitables I'll cook
them the right way.
I'm learning slowly to adapt to the diet. I'm allowed to use honey to
sweeten things, so i have a bit of fun with that. I still miss things
like chocolate or my bbq wheet thins but i'll live to. Since stufflike
that makes me deadly sick it's sure as hell not worth it.
I managed to make it through one of my flareups that decided to show
itself on christmas day. The abdominal/spinal pain kicked in first and i
thought the nausia would follow, but i took a phennergan and some ativan
and that settled things well enough. I was able to eat my version of
christmas dinner later so it worked out well enough.
Chris and i are doing well. Our 6 month aniversery was the 4th of this
month. and we've had our fare share of fun.
We've talked a lot about going to mcguires for dinner but there's not
really a point now. I can't eat 95% of what they serve because it's
probably got ingredience that will make me sick. Hmm wonder what we
should do for our 1 year aniversery. Red lobster mayb? I dont think
shrimp and lobster would end up making me sick if i make my choices right.
Scd has taught me quite a bit about cooking this past month. I've made
chicken stock, duck stock, ham stock to though that had too much salt to
be drinkable.....could have used it in cooking though. Then last week i
made my first banana cake. For those of you who are interested here's
the recipe.
5 large eggs
5 bananas
a teaspoon vanilla (optional)
a quarter cup honey (optional)
nutmeg
cynamin
ginger
cloves
The spices are optional but they spice it up more and make it more
desert like. The first time i made this i included the honey and vanilla
and spices. It came out incredible but too sweet.
When i made it for christmas i forgot everything accept the eggs and
bananas. It came out fine that way to, but i much prefer it with the
spices and vnilla so next time that's how i'll make it but i won't
include the honey......too sweet.
I have other scd recipes i still want to try. there's one for a cheese
cake that looks pretty good. I'd like to find a pumpkin pie type recipe
though still.
Oh, fyi, when you make that banana cake make sure the pan is well oiled
but pour out any excess oil or it will be hard to turn the thing out to
cool later.
