What Comfort Food Do You Eat, To Feel Better?

[SandyShoes]

Before I was diagnosed and I was having stomach problems...

I would grab everything and anything, that was making my intestines worse.

Graham crackers, soda crackers, noodles....cheerios cereal....basically anything that was a starch or a carb.

Now when I have gluten flubs and feel horrible, but am on the mend...I dont know what to grab to eat.

Help...need some easy to digest, comforting, gluten free foods...besides white rice and bananas...

Thank you!

Avocados, chicken, chicken-rice soup, butternut-sweet potato soup are what I generally go with.

Sunmaid Rasins.. but dunno why... just do.. can eat a hole 24 oz can in one sitting!

Mine are microwaved yams, hot quinoa cereal, eggs, homemade cabbage soup, mint teas, EnerG Light Tapioca toast with butter...

There has been some research that cabbage soup is healing to the gut. I'm sorry I don't have a link, but was told this after someone I know went to the GIG meeting this year - they heard a presentation on it. My recipe is pretty loose -

1 head cabbage, sliced finely

1 or 2 yellow onions, sliced finely

2 or more garlic cloves, sliced or minced

salt and pepper to taste

3-4 carrots, sliced finely or shredded

olive oil

water and/or gluten-free broth (chicken or veggie)

Take enough olive oil to coat the bottom of a soup pot (2 tbsp?) and heat, toss the onion in and stir for a few minutes. Add garlic cloves, stir, then start adding the cabbage. Add until the pot is 2/3 full (or get a bigger pot! ) and stir a little. Add carrots, salt and pepper, and any other seasoning you feel like adding. Add enough water and/or broth to cover the cabbage and simmer for about an hour, on low heat. I like to pour the extra leftovers into canning jars and freeze them, that way I can choose when to have more, if I need it the next day or later down the road when I'm not feeling so hot and don't feel like cooking.

I depend of 7-up or Sprite when I am feeling off. I have yet to find a comfort food that is gluten-free for me, still searching.

You'll behappy to know my toddler son is following in his fasters footsteps with the rasins LOL

My comfort food without a doubt is potatoes.

Any form, as long as it is potatoes, is the only food I can eat without pain when my intestines are angry!!!!

It seems potatos have the majority. I have mine mashed, or my wonderful husband will make potato soup for me. He'll let me have a batch that is to him way too bland, and then spice up the other for himself. Hmm, I'm feeling pretty good now, but maybe I should have him fix up a batch just in case

Potato soup????
