A short grocery list

[clevermanka]

This is mostly for my own records, but for those of you who are playing along at home, here is a list of the problematic vegetables I've found on various websites.

FODMAP trouble foods
Artichokes, Asparagus, Avocado, Beets, Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Dandelion greens, Garlic, Green bell peppers, Fennel, Leeks, Mushrooms, Okra, Onions, Peas, Scallions (white parts), Shallots, Sugar snap peas, Snow peas

FODMAP acceptable foods
Alfalfa, Bamboo shoots, Bok choy, Carrots, Celery, Endive, Green beans, Lettuce, Olives, Parsnip, Potato, Pumpkin, Red bell peppers, Spinach, Tomato, Turnip, Yam, Zucchini

Fructose trouble foods
Artichoke, Asparagus, Beets, Carrots, Dandelion greens, Cauliflower, Eggplant, Endive, Green peppers, Green cabbage, Kale, Leeks, Lettuce, Mushrooms, Onions, Radishes, Squash, Sweet potatoes, Tomatoes, Turnips, Turnip Greens, Watercress, Zucchini

Fructose acceptable foods
Celery, Escarole, Mustard greens, Pea pods (immature), Potatoes (white), Pumpkin, Shallots, Spinach, Swiss chard

Bell peppers appear as okay and problematic in equal measure across various websites, so I'm cutting them, just in case. There are a lot of other foods that show up in contradictory lists, too. Turnip greens, mushrooms, and zucchini pop up in both lists, but seem to fall more commonly in the problem category. To err on the side of caution, I'll include them in my own don't list.

So, cross-referencing those two lists, here are the vegetables available to me:
Alfalfa, Bamboo shoots, Bok Choy, Celery, Escarole, Green beans, Mustard greens, Olives, Potatoes (white), Parsnips, Pumpkin, Spinach, Swiss chard. Does anyone see conflicts? Let me know. Those are the vegetables I'll incorporate over the next four weeks. I think I can live with that.

I'm also going to start incorporating regular Nauli practice. I know I have issues with stagnation in my intestines. This should help.

I do kind of wonder if I should suck it up and go see one of the Doctors Khosh here in town. God, they're expensive, though.

Now off to color my roots with nottygypsy and hdsqrl.

I'd avoid white potatoes, for one, they are in the nightshade family, and for me, if I don't know how old the potatoes are, I'm not willing to risk them, too inflammatory. Plus.. all that starch, bleh.
I thought I'd read that yams are acceptable over sweet potatoes, can't find it now, but this article (http://nutrition.about.com/od/dietsformedicaldisorders/a/antiinflamfood.htm) was very helpful to explain a lot of it to me.

ETA: after looking it up:
Nauli! Now I see where Delilah of Seattle got that amazing sideways bellyroll.

Nauli looks cool - I wanna try it!

Sucky about all those foods. This is the kind of thing those kinds of docs ARE useful for.

Good to know about white potatoes being problematic. I haven't eaten one in over a year, anyway, so no big loss.

Thanks for the About.com link.

You're welcome. Of course, I don't agree with her endorsement of canola oil and tofu stir-fry, but this nightshade thing is on my radar right now. I'll be sad to see if tomatoes are part of my pain levels increasing. I've only wanted potatoes as my own potato salad, but I can live without that also.

I have to admit, that Nauli freaked my shit out, man!Of course, I am in the midst of increasingly awful menstrual cramps, so this may not have been the time to be introduced to something that looks externally like whow I feel internally; )

I forgot to ask: How much does an initial consult with the Khosh bros cost?

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I have no idea, but I'm assuming it's more than $50, which is what I could afford right now.

Thus answering today's question "what the hell CAN you eat?".

I was also feeling terrible for making mac n cheese in front of you, though, I know you don't judge (or at least do it silently).

And here is a water bottle in the living room that is not mine. I suppose you can live with out it for a while?

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

If I thought it wouldn't kill me, I would eat THE FUCK out of that Mac & Cheese. So yeah, no judgement from me at all! I hope it's delicious and you enjoy every bite. NOM NOM NOM.

Damn about the water bottle. Grrr. But yes, no big deal. I'll get it next time!

[nottygypsy.livejournal.com]

It was nom, I commented to Kent that to you, it must seem like a big pan of cheesy death.

Oh is this your wisk in the sink too? /;]
