Foods to test

you can skip this post folks, boooring .. :-)

==== I wish to further test the following ====
  • Cottage Cheese. Dragon finds this to be ok.
  • Peas. Dragonslayer reckons some varieties are ok. Otherwise known as 'petit-pois'
  • Carrots. Try skinning these
  • tempe
  • baby corn. apparently has almost no starch
  • pumpkin
  • fruit and nuts. Perhaps nuts are safer on their own. I believe that I may react moderately when nuts are mixed with sweet foods. Would not be surprising as mixing protein, fat and sugar all at once is surely going to feed unfriendly gut flora. Similar to what happens when mixing butter or cream with sugar..
  • green beans
  • zuchini
  • wine, vinegar, etc - need more testing
    vinegar is so common in condiments, so must be tested!
  • Pectin. This should be a safe low GI food, and perhaps beneficial to the gut flora?
  • mushrooms - these are ok
  • rice, rice cakes, rice pudding, rice sponge cake
  • brown rice : dotyisle says he can tolerate this better than white rice
  • psyllium husks
  • short grain rice : ted reckons this is safer
  • vegies: zuccini, yellow squash, red/green peppers
  • Nuts and seeds : sesame, pine nuts, macadamia, walnuts..
    John apparently finds sunflower seeds to be ok ?
    Peanuts should not be safe but I would like to test them anyway.
  • Onions: have reacted very badly in the past to onions but would like to retest anyway
  • Dairy, Hard Cheeses, Kefir
    Butter and Cream should be tolerated much better, but I still need to test it myself.
    Test cottage cheese since it is on the list of safe foods but I doubt it is ok for those who react to dairy.
  • Avocado
  • Tapioca
  • Yeast derived foods : many yeast derived foods seem to be a problem eg: Wine, Beer, Vinegar, Cheese, Vegemite.. except for mushrooms??
  • Quinoa
  • Legumes, Lentils, Beans.
    I would be very happy if I could tolerate these. Also experiment with different ways of preparing these.
    Aparrently Jan (twisks) eats lentils (without much issue?)
  • Maltodextrin
    Pello reacted to Maltodextrin
  • Try cooking starchy apples - eg: bakes, stewed, or fried in butter. Does the starch in this fruit convert to simple sugars under high heat? Is the starch more easily tolerated when cooked?. (ok, I have now tried it and I don't think it helps to cook them)
  • Guar Gum
